Marian, 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 brigade men
Had to whisper the news to Marian, madam librarian

What can I do, my dear, to make it clear?
I need you badly, badly, madam librarian, Marian
If I stumbled and I busted my whatchamacallit
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 fella would know that his darlin'
Had heard every 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
