Lyrics

  1. I’m in love, I’m in love
    Night and day I’m always dreaming
    I can’t eat, I can’t sleep
    All because of two eyes beaming
    Mary Jane, you’re to blame
    Ever since the day I met you
    I’ll confess something’s wrong with me

Chorus
Mary Jane, don’t tease me
Mary Jane, go easy
Have a heart, say you’ll be mine
All of my relations look for invitations
Telling of our wedding time
Where the roses grow we’ll build a bungalow
Our honeymoon will never wane
Let the parson change your name
So yours and mine will be the same
Oh, Mary Jane

  1. When you talk, when you walk
    When you dance with other fellows
    Then I’m blue thru and thru
    Maybe it’s because I’m jealous
    Just the same, Mary Jane
    I believe you’re only trying
    Just to see if I really care
