lyrics

Wooden maria
wooden maria
wooden maria
her kisses will tease you
unless you can deceive her

With three pretty dresses
with three pretty dresses
with three pretty dresses
all of her choosing
none of which she'll want to go losing

Maria made a list
the first dress had a fish
the fish sang every hour
then turned into a flower
the flower bloomed too soon
then grew into the moon
the moon did all that it could
but rotted into wood
and floated down the river
past her baby-sitter
who was blowing kisses
to all of the handsome princes'

Half of our lives then
half of our lives then
half of our lives then
her hands in warm water
and the ring still round her finger from her father

Everything and nothing
everything and nothing
everything and nothing
but Maria wanted something
and to make these advances she knew she'd have but three chances

Maria started to dance
but a boot kicked her in the pants
She tried to blow some bubbles
but they were popped by some shovels
Singing was her last hope
til she was choked by a rope
Knowing this wasn't her night
Maria went home to make things right

You can die from laughing
you can die from laughing
you can die from laughing
if you hold it in for too long

Maria made a pizza pie
three items she put inside
The first was a tailor's pin
so we all can taste our sin
The second was the ring on her finger
so on our tongues tradition will linger
The third was a beggar's token
so the channels of the rich are broken
Maria baked all through the night
so we all can have a bite

Wooden maria
wooden maria
wooden maria
she'll love you and then she'll leave you
