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 (farewell)
Fare-thee well (farewell)
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
Well, the woodpecker pecks 'til 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 (farewell)
Fare-thee well (farewell)
Mister 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 love to hear a lollypop
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
Fare-thee well (farewell)
Fare-thee well (farewell)
Mister gloom be on your way
Never listen to the devil
Just to be a little rebel
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
(Fare-thee well) Farewell
(Fare-thee well) Farewell
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
