about
The debut single from Brooklyn power-pop band Wifey.
lyrics
It's mostly men in the marching band
And not one girl's half as cute
As Mary Ann at her music stand
My God, that girl knew how to handle a flute
Told her my name at the football game
And once again when we played the state fair
But ever since she met Johnny K
Well her priorities have been elsewhere
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Now here she is, skipping practices
The kids in woodwind are all licking their wounds
I sit alone with my saxophone
But Mr S won't let me play the blues
The music school don't feel as cool
The other girls are relieved
But since you quit, we play like shit
I'm jumping ship for the chess team
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
Oh Mary Ann, I beg of thee
I'm pining for you as we plod through Yankee Doodle Dandy
This Becky girl can't play your parts as skillfully as you
Her breath control is spotty, and I heard that she eats glue
Sure Johnny's got a car, and his sleeve tattoos are cool
But don't you think it's kind of weird he hangs around the high school?
He's 32 years old and he still lives with his mom
Pretty sure it's illegal for him to come to the prom
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
And not one girl's half as cute
As Mary Ann at her music stand
My God, that girl knew how to handle a flute
Told her my name at the football game
And once again when we played the state fair
But ever since she met Johnny K
Well her priorities have been elsewhere
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Now here she is, skipping practices
The kids in woodwind are all licking their wounds
I sit alone with my saxophone
But Mr S won't let me play the blues
The music school don't feel as cool
The other girls are relieved
But since you quit, we play like shit
I'm jumping ship for the chess team
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
Oh Mary Ann, I beg of thee
I'm pining for you as we plod through Yankee Doodle Dandy
This Becky girl can't play your parts as skillfully as you
Her breath control is spotty, and I heard that she eats glue
Sure Johnny's got a car, and his sleeve tattoos are cool
But don't you think it's kind of weird he hangs around the high school?
He's 32 years old and he still lives with his mom
Pretty sure it's illegal for him to come to the prom
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
Mary Ann finds herself a man and then the band starts falling apart
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band
When Mary Ann leaves the band

about
Wifey Brooklyn, New York
Wifey is a Brooklyn power-pop band formed by Teddy Grey and Carly Kerr, two hot dorks who prove that the theater-kid to punk- rocker pipeline is still claiming innocent victims. The two bonded over a mutual love of bubblegrunge, and began crafting the catchiest songs ever written. They were soon joined in marriage by Mickey Blurr on lead guitar, and Chris Canieso on drums, saving music forever. ... more
