Lyrics/Music S.Clare & B.DeSylva



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 pecker 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
