Quotation

In 1905, George M. Cohan wrote a song called "Mary" [1] which ended:

For it is Mary, Mary,

Plain as any name can be

But with propriety,

Society will say Marie

But it was Mary, Mary,

Long before the fashions came

And there is something

There that sounds so fair,

It's a grand old name
