Polly Wolly Doodle

Oh! I eat watermelon and I have for years
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
I like watermelon but it wets my ears
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Maybe grass tastes good to a moo cow’s mouth
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
But I like chicken 'cause I’m from the south
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Fare-thee well
Fare-thee well
Mister gloom be on your way
If you think you’re gonna worry
You can stop it in a huury
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day!
A woodpecker pecks till he gets his fill
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
But the woodpecker pays 'cause it’s on his bill
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Oh! I feed my pigs with molasses yam
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
And they should be sweeter than they really am
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Fare-thee well
Fare-thee well
Mister gloom be on your way
Tho' you haven’t any money
You can still be bright and sunny
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day!
Oh! I hate to hear a choc’late drop
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
But I like to hear a lollypop
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Ev’rything went wrong but it turned out right
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
The skies were gray but the future’s bright
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Fare-thee well
Fare-thee well
Misteall the day!
A polly is a parrot
We all know well
But just what a wolly is
I can’t tell
I wouldn’t know a doodle
If one came along
But polly-wolly-doodle makes a darn good song!
