[Verse 1]
A D G
Just sit right back, and you’ll hear a tale
G D G
About puberty and Channel 12.
G D G
It was right there on my TV screen…
G A
It’s where I met my beauty queen.
A D G
She had jet-black hair and really tanned skin…
D G
Little short-shorts and a sweet little grin.
D G
She was stuck on an island with only four men…
A
Man what I wouldn’t give to be one of them!
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G D G
Well, okay, the next day it wasn’t cool,
G D G
‘Cause Johnny was talkin’ ‘bout her at school.
G D G
It all went south when he started to drool.
G A
I had to break that Golden Rule!
A D G
He said, “Mary Ann’s hot!” I said, “Take it back.”
D G
She’s with me, boy, and that’s a fact.
D G
He was pretty big, but too bad for him…
A
I’d been watchin’ Kung Fu on Channel 10…
A A A A A A
Ah-ah. Ah-ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
[Chorus]
D G
Oh my gosh, Mary Ann! (Mary Ann)
D G
My little firecracker in the sand. (In the sand)
G D G
My tropic-island-brunette with a tan.
A D D G D D G
She’s my girrr-l, and I’m her man, man, I, I’m her man, man. I, I…
[Verse 3]
D G
Six years later I’m outta high school.
G D G
With fast cars, sunglasses, lookin’ cool.
D G
One foot taller… every-thing had changed,
G A
But my Mary Ann still looked the same.
A D G
Now, the ladies of the eighties went to extremes
G D G
With big hair, hot pink and holes in their jeans.
G D G
But my old-fashioned girl she knew what I liked…
G A
She’d rock those ponytails every night!
A A A A A A
Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.
[Chorus]
D G
Oh my gosh, Mary Ann! (Mary Ann)
D G
My little firecracker in the sand. (In the sand)
G D G
My tropic-island-brunette with a tan.
A A A A
She’s my girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend…
D G
Oh my gosh, Mary Ann! (Mary Ann)
D G
My little firecracker in the sand. (In the sand)
G D G
My tropic-island-brunette with a tan.
A D D G D D G D D G D A
She’s my girrr-l, and I’m her man, man, I, I, I man, man. I, I, I man, man, I, I, I man…
[Bridge]

Baby, Ba-by, where did the time go?
D G D G
Baby, Ba-by, where did the time go?
D G G D G
Those were the days… back in high school…
D G D D G
And now, I’m in a mini-van drivin’ kids to school.
G D G D D G
But, my sweet Mary Ann… she hasn’t aged a day,
G D G D D G
And here I am… man, I’m lookin’ so frayed.
D G D G
I gotta job… no TV at work!
D G D G
Wife and kids, button-up shirts!
D G D G
Cable TV and On Demand!
D G A
Now, I’m never gonna be separated from my Mary Ann!
A A A A A A A A
Ah-ah. Ah-ah. Ah-ah. Ah-ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
