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.
