Now eenie meenie minie moe
|
Catch that monkey by the toe
|
If he hollers let him go
|
Eenie meenie minie moe
|
|
Scatty-ah, pa swings it so does ma
|
Scatty-ah, ma swings it so does pa
|
Scatty-ah, you swing it so do I
|
Scatty-ah, I swing it so do you
|
|
When he turns that handle down
|
Music goes around 'n' around
|
Everybody starts to sing
|
To that organ grinder's swing
|
|
Tra-la, pa swings it so does ma
|
Tra-la, ma swings it so does pa
|
Tra-la, you swing it so do I
|
Tra-la, I swing it so do you
|
|
Now all the children tag along
|
Just to listen to his song
|
Monkey dancing on a string
|
To the organ grinder's swing
|
|
Oh-hum
|
Oh-hum
|
Oh-hum
|
Oh-hum, I swing it so do you
|
|
Drop a nickle in his hat
|
Like a rich aristocrat
|
Every nickle that you fling
|
Makes that organ grinder swing
|
|
Hi-ho
|
Hi-ho
|
Hi-ho
|
Hi-ho, I swing it so do you
|
|
[Scat verse]
|
|
Eenie meenie minie moe
|
Catch that monkey by the toe
|
This music makes me want to sing
|
Oh you organ grinder's swing
|
