Mary Would Know My Name

b][/b]

Verse 1
If I were a football hero
With muscles across my back
All the beautiful girls, all the lovely young ladies
Would be panting on my track
If I could walk into class
Still with mud on my ****
After winning another game
I could walk down the hall with my head up high
And Mary Would Know My Name

Verse 2
If I were a rock guitarist
With a heavy electric beat
All the beautiful girls, all the lovely young ladies
Would be dancing at my feat
Well if I were the rage
Wailing up on the stage
When the time for the concert cameç
I could walk down the street with my guitar in my hand
And Mary would know my name

Refrain
But Mary doesn't even know who I am
Mary doesn't even seem to give a damn

Verse 3
If I were a famous actor 
Racing motorcycles on the side
All the beautiful girls, all the lovely young ladies
Would want to come take a ride
If I drove a hot car, or if I had a starDown at Hollywood and Vine
I’d just walk up and say
“Listen Mary, hey, tonight I’m gonna’ make you mine”
I’d get her a mink coat and a motorboat
Together we’d make the scene
And then no other guy
Would try to give her the eye
In case I was feeling mean

Refrain
But Mary doesn’t even know who I am
Mary doesn’t even seem to give a damn
