Make me a smile and make me happy
Sing a song, one I fancy
Tell me a story of a prince charming
Tell me I was born a king
Here's to the future promises that no-one keeps
No-one keeps
Here's to the memories of the past
Let them sleep, let them last

Are you lonesome, are you scared
Are you happy, I don't care
Hey Marlene, hey Marlene don't cry
Don't shed a tear before my eyes

I should be glad I was born in Belgium
Here's to the future, can I have one
Hear the rumour spread around this town
See the clouds are coming down

Hey Marlene, hey Marlene don't cry
Don't shed a tear before my eyes

Are you lonesome, are you scared
Are you happy, I don't care

Hey Marlene, hey Marlene don't cry
Don't shed a tear before my eyes
