Ritchie Valens - Boney Maronie

Well, I got a girl name Boney Maronie
Well, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Oughta see her rock and roll with blue jeans on
She's not very fat just skin and bone

Well, I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree

Well, I told her mama
And I told her papa, too
Well, just exactly what I'm gonna do
Get married on a night of June
And rock and roll by silvery moon

Well, I love her, she loves me
Whoa, how happy now, we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree

(guitar and instrumental)

She's my one and only
She's my heart desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Ev'rybody turns when my baby goes by
She's somethin' to see that really catches the eye

Well, I love her, and she loves me
Whoa, how happy, now we can be
Making lover underneath the apple tree.

(instrumental to end fade)
