[00:03.09]Father puts an ad on the personal page
[00:32.67]The print is black and clear
[00:34.41]Saying Mary please write
[00:35.52]Please don't drop out of site
[00:37.5]Mary we love you dear
[00:38.04]Mary we want you here
[00:39.69]Oh Mary why did you disappear
[00:41.04]Mother sits at home by the telephone
[00:42.12]Her tears won't cease to flow
[00:44.46]Praying Mary will call
[00:45.66]But there's no call at all
[00:47.16]Mary where did you go
[00:48.33]That's all we want to know
[00:49.44]Oh Mary call us and say hello
[00:51.18]Meanwhile in the city
[00:51.96]Mary looks pretty
[00:52.8]Eating an ice cream cone
[00:53.82]With her childhood past
[00:55.32]She's free at last
[00:56.31]And making it on her own Jimmy puts an ad on the personal page
[01:00.0]He can't believe they're through

[01:04.709]Just like you want me to
[01:05.97]We'll do whatever you want to do
[01:07.38]When the ads are in and the type is set
[01:09.81]The printer makes a plate
[01:11.91]Then it goes off to press

[01:44.61]Mother is in a state
[01:46.11]They still don't know that it's much too late

[01:49.68]Reads what the columns say
[01:50.520004]Walking through a crowd she laughs out loud

[02:05.28]Laughter
