[Verse 1]
Danny is lonely cause Mary's in India now
She said she'd call, but that was three weeks ago
She left all her things, well, her books and her letters from him
As the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
[Chorus 1]
And just dance and just drink
And just see the things I'll probably never get a chance to see
[Verse 2]
Danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in
I saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin
He says he's happy, he looked pretty good but I think
That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
[Chorus 1]
And just dance and just drink
And just see the things I'll probably never get a chance to see
[Verse 3]
Danny came over last night and I cooked for him
We talked about you, Mary, and how much we loved you still
He told me he's packed up your books and your letters and things
As the sun sets on Mary, it's rising on him
[Chorus 2]
And we danced and we drank
And I've seen some things you probably never got a chance to see
[Outro]
Don't worry, Mary, cause I'm taking care of Danny
And he's taking care of me
Danny is lonely cause Mary's in India now
She said she'd call, but that was three weeks ago
She left all her things, well, her books and her letters from him
As the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
[Chorus 1]
And just dance and just drink
And just see the things I'll probably never get a chance to see
[Verse 2]

Don't worry, Mary, cause I'm taking care of Danny
And he's taking care of me
