SPEEDY MARIE Frank Black Teenager of the Year

Intro:

Had a bit part An endless reel It always played in slo-mo But now it's fast A spinning wheel I know the dynamo My heart is cast

Chorus:

Speedy Marie Ahead of the now She's better built that's how She's built for speed Speedy Marie Speedy Marie

Oh, yes indeed I said to me And so I sing this romaunt It's not enough My liberty There is a thing I want I need, I love

Repeat Chorus

/Bb /C /D /F Juxtaposed in each moment's sight /Bb /C /D /F Everything that I ever saw /Bb /F And my one delight Nothing can strike me in such awe Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks Always it will soothe

Rarer none are the precious cheeks Is the size of each sculpted tooth Each lip and each eye

Wise it the tongue, wet of perfect thought And softest neck where always do I Lay my clumsy thoughts

She is that most lovely art Happy are my mind and my soul And my heart
