Mary Provus did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West
July 29
She'd been lying there for two or three weeks
The neighbors said they never heard a squeak
While hungry eyes that could not speak
Said, "You little doggies have gotta eat"
She was a winner
That became her doggies' dinner
She never meant that much to me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, poor Marie
Mary Provus was a movie queen
Mysterious angel of the silent screen
And run like the wind the nation's young men seemed
When Mary crossed the silent screen
Whoa, she came out west from New York
But when the talkies came, Mary just couldn't cope
The public said, "Mary, take a walk
All the way back to New York"
She was a winner
That became her doggies' dinner
She never meant that much to me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, poor Marie
ย
Those Quaalude bombs didn't help her sleep
As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak
It's all downhill once you pass your peak
Marie got ready for that last big sleep
The cops came in and they looked around
Throwing up everywhere over what they found
The handiwork of Mary's little dog town
That hungry little dog town
ย
She never meant that much to me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, poor Marie
Poor Marie
Poor Marie
Poor, poor Marie
Poor Marie
Poor, poor Marie
Poor Marie
