Marian The Librarian Lyrics - Singles - Music Man

Harold: 

Madam Librarian 

What can I do, my dear, to catch your ear 

I love you madly, madly Madam Librarian...Marian 

Heaven help us if the library caught on fire 

And the Volunteer Hose Brigademen 

Had to whisper the news to Marian...Madam Librarian! 

What can I say, my dear, to make it clear 

I need you badly, badly, Madam Librarian...Marian 

If I stumbled and I busted my what-you-may-call-it 

I could lie on your floor unnoticed 

'Till my body had turned to carrion....Madam Librarian. 

Now in the moonlight, a man could sing it 

In the moonlight 

And a fellow would know that his darling 

Had heard ev'ry word of his song 

With the moonlight helping along. 

But when I try in here to tell you, dear 

I love you madly, madly, Madam Librarian...Marian 

It's a long lost cause I can never win 

For the civilized world accepts as unforgivable sin 

Any talking out loud with any librarian 

Such as Marian.....Madam Librarian.
