Polly wouldn't listen to her Mama,
|
Polly wouldn't listen to her Papa.
|
She tried to make the swinging city scene,
|
And now there's not a place that Polly hasn't been.
|
|
Polly, pretty pretty Pollyanna,
|
Pretty pretty Pollyanna,
|
Pretty Polly Garter
|
Oh, I think that pretty Polly should have stayed at home.
|
|
Pretty Polly, dressed as jolly as can be,
|
She's so darling, all the fellas do agree,
|
And half a million people can't be wrong,
|
Oh, I think that pretty Polly should have stayed at home.
|
|
Polly wrote a letter to her Mama,
|
Polly made confessions to her Papa.
|
Mummy's proud 'cause Polly's still in chains
|
She's happy now her baby's coming home again.
|
|
Pretty Polly, she learned that life is just a game,
|
She is sorry, she just had to break the chains.
|
And Mama knows, 'cause Mama was the same
|
Oh, she's happy now her baby's coming home again.
|
|
Polly, pretty pretty Pollyanna,
|
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Pollyanna,
|
Pretty Polly Garter
|
Oh, Polly, pretty pretty Pollyanna,
|
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Pollyanna,
|
Pretty Polly Garter
|
I think that pretty Polly should have stayed at home.
