 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
