[Verse]
D               
I'm heavy handed
           B     B7
To say the least ■ 
          A     
My mother thinks
        D                
I'll be an awful clutcher
B7                    A    D                B      
'cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly
B               
I'm far too loud
             A                          
It's like as soon as I've got an opinion
   D    A              
It just has to come out
A                       
I laugh at stupid things
     E                    
Just 'cause they tickle me
A             D A       
And sometimes ■ ■ I wish
D                           B7      
Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella
             A         
She got some prittstick
    A7 D                          
And ■  she glued her lips together
B7                       
So she never had to speak
A                 
Never had to speak
      D           
Never had to speak
                                  B         
People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse
                        B7  
She just doesn't make a peep
            A              
She marched to her wardrobe
    D         A              
And she threw away the colour
                            E         
Because wearing black looks mysterious
E7                        A      D
But it didn't impress her mother ■


[Chorus]
A                         D   
■ She wanted to dress her baby
            D          
In patterns and flowers
B   B7                        A   
But Mariella just crossed her arms
       D                  
And so she cried for hours
         D       
Mariella Mariella
          B        
My pretty baby girl
B7                    A              D    
Unglue your lips from being together ■ and
                   B         
And wear some pink and pearls
                  A             
You can have your friends 'round
A                        
And they can stay for tea
D              A                   
Won't you just try to fit in please
        E     
Do this for me
    E                             
But Mariella just crossed her arms

   A                 D     
As she walked up the stairs


[Chorus]
                      B      
And she went into her bedroom
               B7     
And she sat on her bed
               B7           
And she looked in the mirror
A7      A                   
And she ■ thought to herself
     D                            
If I wanna play I can play with me
                 B                    
If I wanna think I'll think in my head
          B7                      A           
At school ■  Mariella didn't have many friends
                                  A  
Yeah the girls they all looked at her
D                                     
And they thought she was quite strange
    B7                                                
And the boys they're not really into girls at that age
A                             D                       A              
And the teachers they thought Mariella was just going through a phase
                                E                    
But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road
            E                                
Because she knew all the secrets in her world
    A                                          D       
Yes she always got the crossword puzzles right everyday
              D                        
And she could do the alphabet backwards
                   B       
Without making any mistakes
B                
Mariella Mariella
B7                
Pretty pretty girl
         B7      
Mariella Mariella
A                             
Happy in your own little world
                 A           
Happy in her own little world
    D       
And she said
     D                                 
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever
                              B7  
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
         B7                            
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever
                              A   
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
                    A                  
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever
          D                       
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
D                                       
Gonna unglue my lips from being together
B7                                         
She said I'm never ever ever ever ever ever
          B7                      
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
A7       A               A7            
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever
                    D         A     
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ■ ever
               E                            
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
                     D                   A7 A
Gonna unglue my lips from being together ■  ■
