| The lights shine down the valley | |
| The wind blows up the alley | |
| Oh, and how I wish I was | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| She took the pains of boyhood | |
| And turned them into feel good | |
| Oh, and how I wish was | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| Mary was the girl who taught me | |
| All I had to know | |
| She put me right on my first mistake | |
| Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned | |
| All she had to show | |
| She really gave all a boy could take | |
| So now, when I get lonely | |
| Still looking for the one and only | |
| That's when I wish I was | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| So now, when I feel lonely | |
| Still looking for the one and only | |
| That's when I wish I was | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary, Mary, Mary | |
| Mary was the girl who taught me | |
| All I had to know | |
| She put me right on my first mistake | |
| Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned | |
| All she had to show | |
| She really gave all a boy could take | |
| The lights shine down the valley | |
| The wind blows up the alley | |
| Oh, and how wish I was | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| Lying in the arms of Mary | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
