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 hurry,

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;

So 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 chocolate drop,

sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;

But I love to hear a lollypop,

sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Fare-thee well,

Fare-thee well,

Mister gloom be on your way,

Never listen to the devil,

Simply be a little rebel,

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 hurry,

sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day!
