Stella Marie you're my star
In your blue blue tavern you light my lantern
O Stella's large
Pink almond face
It's glowing in space
A place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go

Go Go Go Go
Stella Marie you're my star
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now
I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling

Thar she goes,
