Polly Says

Letra

[Intro] Squawk-squawk, hey now! Who left the mango by the window? [Verse 1] I woke up on the curtain rod With a feather in my eye You said, “Good morning, little bird” I said, “Tell the truth, don’t lie” I know where you hide the biscuits I know your secret tune And every time the kettle sings I sing along too soon [Chorus] Polly says, “Pass the fruit!” Polly says, “That hat is cute!” Polly says, “Everybody smile!” Then I steal your spoon and fly a mile Polly says, “Come dance with me!” Perched up high beside the tree If you hear me call your name Bring a slice of pineapple to the game [Verse 2] The neighbor brought a shiny bell I rang it all day long The puppy chased my purple tail And barked the harmony wrong I taught the mailman “How do you do?” He taught me “Not today” But when the little children laugh I never fly away [Chorus] Polly says, “Pass the fruit!” Polly says, “That hat is cute!” Polly says, “Everybody smile!” Then I steal your spoon and fly a mile Polly says, “Come dance with me!” Perched up high beside the tree If you hear me call your name Bring a slice of pineapple to the game [Bridge] I can say hello, I can say goodbye I can count your buttons as you walk by But the finest words I ever knew Are “one more mango” and “I love you” [Final Chorus] Polly says, “Pass the fruit!” Polly says, “That hat is cute!” Polly says, “Everybody smile!” Shake your wings and stay awhile Polly says, “Come dance with me!” Sing it loud beneath the tree When the afternoon turns gold I’ll tell the same old joke, but twice as bold [Outro] Squawk-squawk, goodnight! Hide the biscuits—I know where they are!
