Lyrics:

In a tiny house, by a tiny stream
Lived a lovely lass, who had a lovely dream
And her dream came true, quite unexpectedly in
Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea

She was out one day, where the tulips grow
When a handsome lad, stopped to say hello
And before she knew he kissed her tenderly in
Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea

The happy pair were married one Sunday afternoon
They left the church and ran away
To spend their honeymoon...

In a tiny house, by a tiny stream
Where the lovely lass had a lovely dream
And the last I heard, they still live happily in
Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea
In Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea

So now you've heard the story of how it all begun
'I think I'd like to go there', that's a good idee-a, son

Sing it very soft, pianissimo
Like a little bird walking in the snow
That was very nice, now sing it merrily
It's Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea
Ssh! Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea
NOW! Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer Katsenellenbogen-by-the-sea
