Mariella

[00:14.30] I'm heavy handed
[00:21.84] To say the least
[00:29.22] My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher
[00:36.07] 'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly
[00:43.61] I'm far too loud
[00:50.73] It's like as soon as I've got an opinion, it just has to come out
[00:57.72] I laugh at stupid things
[01:04.63] Just 'cause they tickle me
[01:12.71] And
[01:17.25] Sometimes I wish
[01:24.78] Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella
[01:30.20] She got some Pritt Stick and she glued her lips together
[01:35.38] So she never had to speak, never had to speak, never had to speak
[01:41.28] People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse, she just doesn't make a peep
[01:46.15] She marched to her wardrobe and she threw away the colour
[01:51.24] Because wearing black looks mysterious, but it didn't impress her mother
[01:56.09] She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers
[02:01.04] But Mariella just crossed her arms and so she cried for hours
[02:06.31] "Mariella
[02:07.79] Mariella
[02:08.96] My pretty, baby girl
[02:11.12] Unglue your lips from being together and wear some pink and pearls
[02:15.82] You can have your friends 'round and they can stay for tea
[02:20.54] Won't you just try to fit in please? Do this for me"
[02:24.58] But Mariella just crossed her arms and she walked up the stairs
[02:28.85] And she went into her bedroom and she sat on her bed
[02:33.58] And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself
[02:37.84] "If I wanna play, I can play with me
[02:39.94] If I wanna think, I'll think in my head"
[02:42.49] At school, Mariella didn't have many friends
[02:46.39] Yeah, the girls, they all looked at her and they thought she was quite strange
[02:51.15] And the boys, they're not really into girls at that age
[02:55.24] And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase
[02:59.61] But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road
[03:03.53] Because she knew all the secrets in her world
[03:08.06] Yeah, she always got the crossword puzzles right every day
[03:12.45] And she could do the alphabet backwards, without making any mistakes
[03:17.05] Mariella
[03:18.10] Mariella
[03:19.46] You pretty, pretty girl
[03:21.50] Mariella
[03:22.49] Mariella
[03:23.66] Happy in your own little world
[03:27.88] Happy in her own little world
[03:32.77] And she said "Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever
[03:35.52] Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
[03:38.12] Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever
[03:39.57] Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
[03:42.46] Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever
[03:43.75] Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
[03:46.36] Gonna unglue my lips from being together"
[03:50.02] She said "I'm never, ever, ever, ever
[03:51.67] Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
[03:54.39] Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever
[03:55.66] Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
[03:58.15] Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
[04:02.14] Gonna unglue my lips from being together, ha, ha, ha, ha"
