Lyrics Hey Maria, where are ya goin Put down the suitcase and please bolt the door Children play'n oh can ya hear 'em Their calling your name from outside the corridor. Hey Maria, you know what I'm here for Didn't bring no ladder, ain't down on my knee Come and take my hand now, Maria And just say you'll run away with me So come on little Maria We're two bush leaguers on the attack I'm an ugly Casanova With a chip on my shoulder And there ain't no turning back Hey Maria, there's your Daddy Look's like he's collecting our bail He doesn't think we'll make it to Wisconsin His big hope is that we'll land in jail. Hey Maria, look out the window Come on now and tell me what ya see Cops are book'n and the pimps they are hook'n This ain't no place for you and me. So come on little Maria We're to bush leaguers on the attack We're just two Casanovas With a chip on our shoulder And there ain't no turning back Now someday Maria, you and I We'll find ourselves on our own. And I might me making minimum wage In some bar room minstrel show And then someday we'll own it Like I said we always would Remember how we were talk'n on the top of my car hood. Hey Maria, it's time to go now Pack up your suitcase, throw in some of my clothes. Look at the Dukes, they are standing on Ashland Their wiping the eyes and blow'n they nose. Hey Maria, we'll come back soon And we'll stand on our own wealth and fame Maybe we'll come back and get your Daddy If the guy will just remember my name. So come on little Maria We're two bush leaguers on the attack. We're just two bosanovas With chips on our shoulders And there ain't no turning back.
