I'm heavy handed to say the least
My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher
'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quicklyI'm far too loud
It's like as soon as I've got an opinion
It just has to come out
I laugh at stupid things just 'cause they tickle meAnd sometimes
Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella
She got some Pritt stick
Aand glued her lips togetherSo, she never had to speak
Never had to speak, never had to speak
People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse
She just doesn't make a peepShe marched to her wardrobe
And she threw away the color
Because wearing black looks mysterious
But it didn't impress her motherShe wanted to dress her baby
In patterns and flowers
But Mariella just crossed her arms
And so she cried for hoursMariella, Mariella, my pretty baby girl
Unglue your lips from being together
And, and wear some pink and pearlsYou can have your friends 'round
And they can stay for tea
Won't you just try to fit in please?
Do this for meBut Mariella just crossed her arms
And she walked up the stairs
And she went into her bedroom
And she sat on her bedAnd she looked in the mirror
And she thought to herself
"If I wanna play, I can play with me
If I wanna think, I'll think in my head"At school
Mariella didn't have many friends, yeah
The girls, they all looked at her
And they thought she was quite strangeAnd the boys
They're not really into girls at that age
And the teachers, they thought
Mariella was just going through a phaseBut Mariella just smiled
Aas she skipped down the road
Because she knew
All the secrets in her worldYes, she always got
The crossword puzzles right every day
And she could do the alphabet backwards
Without making any mistakesMariella, Mariella, you pretty, pretty girl
Mariella, Mariella
Happy in her own little world
Happy in her own little worldAnd she said, "Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Gonna unglue my lips from being together"She said, "I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Gonna unglue my lips from being together, haha haha"
