That girl is just eleven, she's hardly been born
That girl is just eleven, she's hardly been worn
She's sticking out a little here, sticking out a little there (x2)
Now that girl is fourteen, getting older everyday (x2)
Giving her life away (x4)
Now that girl is eighteen, walking down the aisle (x2)
Mother approves, sister approves, father approves, you approve, you approve
Now that girl is twenty-one, you know she's married now (x2)
Little bowed thighs, stitched up fly's, telling lies, nobody cries
Now that girl is twenty-four, there's lot of fish to fry
Now that girl is twenty-four, washing on the line
Socks up there, underwear, shoes to clean, what happened to her teenage dream?
Marjory Razorblade oh what a picture she made
In her long and her fusty dress and her hair that she plaited best
Oh what a woman, what a tongue, what an abrasive manner
And if anyone upsets me, they will regret it
Oh she's mine though she's over fifty-nine
She's experience of the world far beyond my years
Oh mother me Marjory Razorblade (repeat)
It happens all the time (repeat)
It happened to you, it happened to me, it happened to him, it happened to you
Mother me Marjory Razorblade (repeat)
That girl is just eleven, she's hardly been worn
She's sticking out a little here, sticking out a little there (x2)
Now that girl is fourteen, getting older everyday (x2)
Giving her life away (x4)

Mother approves, sister approves, father approves, you approve, you approve
