Lyrics:

Polly wouldnt listen to her mama,

Polly wouldnt listen to her papa.

She tried to make the swinging city scene,

And now theres not a place that polly hasnt 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,

Shes so darling, all the fellas do agree,

And half a million people cant 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.

Mummys proud cause pollys still in chains

Shes happy now her babys 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, shes happy now her babys 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.
