Mary Ann Leaves The Band Lyrics

It's mostly men in the marching band

And not one girl's half as cute

As Mary Ann at her music stand

My God, that girl knew how to handle a flute

Told her my name at the football game

And once again when we played the state fair

But ever since she met Johnny K

Well her priorities have been elsewhere

Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart

Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart

Now here she is, skipping practices

The kids in woodwind are all licking their wounds

I sit alone with my saxophone

But Mr S won't let me play the blues

The music school don't feel as cool

The other girls are relieved

But since you quit, we play like shit

I'm jumping ship for the chess team

Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart

Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart

When Mary Ann leaves the band

When Mary Ann leaves the band

Oh Mary Ann, I beg of thee

I'm pining for you as we plod through Yankee Doodle Dandy

This Becky girl can't play your parts as skillfully as you

Her breath control is spotty, and I heard that she eats glue

Sure Johnny's got a car, and his sleeve tattoos are cool

But don't you think it's kind of weird he hangs around the high school?

He's 32 years old and he still lives with his mom

Pretty sure it's illegal for him to come to the prom

Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart

Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart

When Mary Ann leaves the band

When Mary Ann leaves the band

When Mary Ann leaves the band

When Mary Ann leaves the band

When Mary Ann leaves the band

When Mary Ann leaves the band
