SONG
I AM A PRETTY LITTLE DUTCH GIRL
AS PRETTY AS PRETTY CAN BE,
AND ALL THE BOYS AROUND MY HOUSE
ARE CRAZY OVER ME.
MY BOYFRIEND'S NAME IS JELL-O.
HE CAME FROM ALABAMO
WITH PICKLES ON HIS TOES
AND A CHERRY ON HIS NOSE
EE-I EE-I-O.
MY BOYFRIEND GAVE ME PEACHES;
MY BOYFRIEND GAVE ME PEARS;
MY BOYFRIEND GAVE ME FIFTY-CENTS,
AND KICKED ME DOWN THE STAIRS.
I GAVE HIM BACK HIS PEACHES;
I GAVE HIM BACK HIS PEARS;
I GAVE HIM BACK HIS FIFTY-CENTS,
AND KICKED HIM DOWN THE STAIRS.
