Polly-wolly-doodle Lyrics - Singles - Shirley Temple

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!
