Shirley Temple Polly-Wolly-Doodle Lyrics

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 cows mouth
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
But I like Chicken cos I'm from the South
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well
Mr 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

Oh the wood p_____ pecks till he gets his fill
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
But the woodpecker pays cos its on his bill
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Oh I feed my pigs from 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
Mr Gloom be on your way
Though 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 like to hear a Lollipop
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Every thing went wrong but it turned out right
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
The skies were grey but the future's bright
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well
Mr Gloom Be on your way
Never listen to the devil
Simply be a little rebel
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all 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
