Bony Moronie
Larry Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
But I love her and she loves me
We're all happy now as we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Well, I told her mama and her papa too
Just exactly what I want to do
I want to get married on a night in June
And rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon
'Cause I love her and she loves me
We're all happy now as we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree
She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Everybody turns when my baby goes by
She's something to see, she really catches the eye
I love her and she loves me
We're all happy now, as we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree
