Bony Moronie
John Lennon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
I got a girl named Bony Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Ought to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat just skin and bone
Oh how happy now, we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Well I told her mama and her papa too
Just exactly what I'm gonna do
We're gonna get married on a night in June
Rock and roll by the light of a silvery moon
Well now I love her and she loves me
Oh how happy now, we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree
But she's my one and only, she's my heart's desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Everybody's watching when my baby walked by
She's so good looking, really catches the eye
Well now I love her and she loves me
Oh how happy now, we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Making love, making love
Making love
