Three Marlenas

Alone tonight in somebody's bed,
She's gone and dyed her hair red.
She only went and did what she did,
'Cause he would drive her home, then.
There's lipstick on her new dress,
She hadn't even paid yet.
But it doesn't matter where the money went,
It wasn't how she paid the rent.

One, two, three Marlenas,
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us.

Now lookin' out across the city lights
She thought they'd be a good pair.
He could make a living selling cars,
Maybe she could work there. She's gonna pick a star in the night,
And pray to make it all right.
She tried so hard not to pick a kite,
She always prayed to head lights.

One, two, three Marlenas,
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us.
One, two, three Marlenas,
It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us,
The three Marlenas.

Well I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls,
Maybe a Chevrolet.
One where I can pull that top down,
Just let my radio play.
Now I'm headin' out on that highway,
I'm goin' right out of state,
And I ain't lookin' back until I've gone
Right through heaven's gates.

One, two, three Marlenas,
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us.
One, two, three Marlenas,
Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us,
The three Marlenas,
Three Marlenas,
Three Marlenas.
