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

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 hurry

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

So they should be sweeter than they really am

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day

Fare-thee well

Fare-thee well

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 chocolate drop

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day

But I like to hear a lollypop

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day

Fare-thee well

Fare-thee well

Fare-thee well

Fare-thee well

Mister gloom be on your way

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day

Fare-thee well

Fare-thee well

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 hurry

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day
