MARIE PROVOST DID NOT
LOOK HER BEST
THE DAY THE COPS BUST
INTO HER LONELY NEST
IN THAT CHEAP HOTEL
UP ON HOLLYWOOD WEST
JULY TWENTY-NINE
SHE'D BEEN LYIN' THERE
FOR TWO OR THREE WEEKS
THE NEIGHBOURS SAID
THEY NEVER HEARD A SQUEAK
WELL, HUNGRY EYES
THAT COULD NOT SPEAK
SAID EVEN LITTLE DOGGIES
HAVE GOT TO EAT
SHE WAS A WINNER
THAT BECAME
THE DOGGIE'S DINNER
SHE NEVER MEANT
THAT MUCH TO ME
WOAH... POOR MARIE
MARIE PROVOST
WAS A MOVIE QUEEN
MYSTERIOUS ANGEL
OF THE SILENT SCREEN
AND RUN LIKE THE WIND
THE NATION'S
YOUNG MEN STEAMED
WHEN MARIE CROSSED
THE SILENT SCREEN
WOAH, SHE CAME OUT WEST
FROM NEW YORK
BUT WHEN THE TALKIES CAME
MARIE JUST COULDN'T COPE
HER PUBLIC SAID
MARIE TAKE A WALK
ALL THE WAY BACK
TO NEW YORK
SHE WAS A WINNER
THAT BECAME
THE DOGGIE'S DINNER
SHE NEVER MEANT
THAT MUCH TO ME
BUT NOW I SEE
POOR MARIE
THOSE QUAALUDE BOMBS
DIDN'T HELP HER SLEEP
AS HER NIGHTS GREW LONG
AND HER DAYS GREW BLEAK
IT'S ALL DOWNHILL
ONCE YOU'VE PASSED YOUR PEAK
MARIE GOT READY
FOR THAT LAST BIG SLEEP
THE COPS CAME IN
AND THEY LOOKED AROUND
THROWIN' UP EVERYWHERE
OVER WHAT THEY FOUND
THE HANDIWORK OF
MARIE'S LITTLE DACHSHUND
THAT HUNGRY
LITTLE DACHSHUND
SHE WAS A WINNER
THAT BECAME
THE DOGGIE'S DINNER
SHE NEVER MEANT
THAT MUCH TO ME
WOAH... POOR MARIE
POOR MARIE
POOR MARIE
POOR, POOR MARIE
POOR MARIE
POOR MARIE
