A Lovely Lady
(Sung to the theme from The Brady Bunch)
There’s a story, of a lovely lady,
Who eloped one day with a very handsome dude.
They were married by, a drunken preacher,
They then began their brood.
Soon six children, made up the family,
They made havoc almost everywhere they went.
Adding pounds and lots of gray hair to this mother,
Still she claimed that everyone was heaven sent.
Heaven sent,
Oh, Heaven sent,
She still claims that all of us were heaven sent.
She cheered louder than the other mothers,
Embarrassed kids would look the other way.
She could dance the jitter bug like no other,
Kept um laughing every day.
Played piano like she was a novice,
And her golf game was just about the same.
But her cooking should have won some prizes,
Burnt food will always be her claim to fame.
Her claim to fame,
Her claim to fame,
Burnt food will always be her claim to fame.
As the years went by this lady went bananas,
Movie starlet status was her goal.
Then she tried to make it with her pompoms,
But younger bodies stole the show.
Now this story of a lovely lady,
Isn’t over yet, there’s way much more to come.
Even though she’s at the ripe old age of eighty,
Mary Lou will always be forever young.
Forever young,
Forever young,
Mary Lou will always be forever young.
