about

Me and Ellen enjoyed doing this track. It felt like a great excuse to write some of our own raps.
-Ian Furelli

lyrics

Wake up Mary
We're going to the zoo
Wake up Mary
Do you wanna come too?
Mary? Mary?

That's great she
Flew the coop without bidding farewell
Now I bet your life must feel like hell.
Did you see this coming? I sure did not.
I hope she comes back, you're all she's got!

How'd you think I feel? She's my sister twin!
She used to help me out when I'm stuck in.
You should've known her more before you start to feel down, but she
Went to a different school elsewhere in town.

I bet it's my fault, cause you joined my band.
Now she's got nothing to do cause you stole her upper hand.
The papers go to see her 'stead of you by mistake.
They tried her patience and for it she made a break.

Well I think you're right, cause as soon we got rated,
Mary got famous just because we're related.
I bet she's happy that she went hi-ho,
But if she's hearing this song, I just want her to know...

I want my sister back

She is jealous of my fame
So she got up and ran away
To try and get some fame and fortune
In her very own way.

Now Mary if you're hearing this I just wanna say,
We're sorry we made you feel so astray.
You can join the band if it makes you happy.
But if you really want fame from something else, make it snappy.

Come on, Mary give us all a shout.
Tell us what your problem is so we can sort out.
Come back to the queen in the Blinstone honeycomb
Come back Mary, Mary come home!

Mary can you hear me?
Hello! Is anyone out there?
