Seems to convey a "Marsha Marsha Marsha!" state of mind reasonably well.
But without the "John! John! John!", it's worthless.

This has nothing to do with the Brady Bunch and all to do with Stan Freberg and it's well before the Brady Bunch ever existed.

Stan Freberg John & Marsha Lyrics
Songwriters: FREBERG, STAN/LIEBERT, BILLY
JOHN AND MARSHA
Stan Freberg

This song consists of a woman's voice calling "John" and a
man's voice calling "Marsha". The intonation, emphasis, pronunciation,
and other characteristics of the voices tell a story, starting with a
young couple's love, going through quarrels, making-up, etc. and finishing
with the voices of a very elderly couple.
A very imaginative song, but the lyrics would just be

"John...Marsha...John...Marsha...John...Marsha ..."
