(Words by George M. Cohan and Music by Irving Berlin)
|
[Verse:]
|
Poor old New York has been captured at last
|
Broadway is up in the air
|
We lost our hearts to a girl with a past
|
Dear little sweet Polly Claire
|
You'll hear them sing ev'rywhere
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Polly, pretty Polly
|
She's a jolly little dame
|
|
Polly's created some talk
|
Polly's the talk of New York
|
|
Polly, pretty Polly
|
Fun and folly is her aim
|
|
A future at last for a girl with a past
|
Pretty Polly is her name
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
David Belasco's to blame for it all
|
He brought the girl into sight
|
Even invited New Yorkers to call
|
Polly's at home ev'ry night
|
Now we all sing with delight
|
