His latest flame
The Boppers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A very old friend came by today
n' he was telling everyone in town
Of the girl that he has found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside me was burnin
I wished him luck and then he said good-bye
He was gone but still his words kept returnin
What else was there for me to do but cry-hay-hay

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside me was burnin
I wished him luck and then he said good-bye
He was gone but still his words kept returnin
What else was there for me to do but cry-hay-hay

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame





Yeah Marie's the name of his latest flame
Yeah Marie's the na-hey-hey-me of his latest flame
