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!
