Dan Bern - Marilyn Lyrics

Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller

But if she did, he'd have taken her to Paris
And if she did, she'd have smoked a lot of opium
And if she did, she'd have dyed her hair blue
And if she did, she might be alive

Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
She lived outside the Tropic of Capricorn
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
I don't even know if she knew Henry Miller

But if she did, he'd have taken her to Paris
And if she did, they'd have fucked every day
And if she did, she'd have felt like a woman
Not like a photograph in a magazine

Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe

This is not a knock against Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman is my favorite play
But Marilyn Monroe should have married Henry Miller
And if she did, she might be alive

'Cause if she did, he'd have taken her to Paris
Tied her to the bed and eaten dinner off of her
And okay maybe she'd have died the same, anyway
But if she did she'd have had more fun

Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
