Back in double-oh-se ven

Miss M was queen

She could roll like a pro rolls

When she was seventeen

Wheteher straight or ha mmered

She was the best in town

When she release the red ball

All pins fall down

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Miss Marlene--we’re still bowling

Every Saturday night

Saturday night

Your move to the lane child

Played on my heartstrings

With you long skinny legs child

And your hoop earrings

When the stakes were sky- high

That’s when you’d always shine

The ball would ride a moon beam

Down the inside lane

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Miss Marlene we’re bowling

Every Saturday night

Saturday night

-9+9+5

And then one night

Something came apart

You were thrown back hurricanes

Bmaj6/9

And we knew some

Cdim7 -5 +9+5

Had played with your heart

You ran into the dark street

At University Place

The cab came up so fast then

We saw your laughin’ face

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Miss Marlene we’re bowling

Every Saturday night

Sometimes on a

league night

I catch her scent again

Her hand guiding my hand

We drop the seven-ten

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Can’t you hear the balls rum ble

Miss Mar lene we’re bowling

Every Saturday nite

Saturday night

Every Saturday night

Every Saturday night

. . . Repeat
