Noah Floersch - Simon and Mary lyrics
[Noah Floersch - Simon and Mary lyrics]
Simon was a boy of just eighteen
He met Mary by the bar one Sunday eve
He said to her, "It's nice to meet
My name's Simon
Could I treat you to a drink?"
She said to him, "You sure are sweet
But I think you might be just
Too young for me"
Mary had brown curls and pearly teeth
Simon never gave up quite so easily
He said
"Ma'am I know I may not be that old
But I know a woman when I see one"
She said, "Simon, so show me you're a man
Take my hand, let's see if you can dance"
And so they danced
Two hours later they were both
Out on the street
The bartender took Simon's fake ID
And if I told you, would you believe
Mary came out with him
Even though she's twenty-three
Oh, Simon told her
"You don't have to leave for me
Go back inside the bar, enjoy your party"
She said, "Simon, darling
You swept me off my feet
I've never seen a man move like
Your body to that beat"
So Simon took her home and
Just like Johnny Flynn mary said to him
"I'll be the best I've been"
He walked her to the porch
And before she went in
He kissed her on the lips
And grinned the biggest grin
He said
"Ma'am I know I may not be that old
But I know a woman when I see one"
She said, "Simon, so show me you're a man
Take my hand, let's see if you can dance"
And so they danced again
He met Mary by the bar one Sunday eve
He said to her, "It's nice to meet
My name's Simon
Could I treat you to a drink?"
She said to him, "You sure are sweet
But I think you might be just
Too young for me"
Mary had brown curls and pearly teeth
Simon never gave up quite so easily
He said
"Ma'am I know I may not be that old
But I know a woman when I see one"
She said, "Simon, so show me you're a man
Take my hand, let's see if you can dance"
And so they danced
Two hours later they were both
Out on the street
The bartender took Simon's fake ID
And if I told you, would you believe
Mary came out with him
Even though she's twenty-three
Oh, Simon told her
"You don't have to leave for me
Go back inside the bar, enjoy your party"
She said, "Simon, darling
You swept me off my feet
I've never seen a man move like
Your body to that beat"
So Simon took her home and
Just like Johnny Flynn mary said to him
"I'll be the best I've been"
He walked her to the porch
And before she went in
He kissed her on the lips
And grinned the biggest grin

"Ma'am I know I may not be that old
But I know a woman when I see one"
She said, "Simon, so show me you're a man
Take my hand, let's see if you can dance"
And so they danced again
