POOR PRINCESS POLLY
Music: Ron Hiller (RONNO)
Lyrics: Judy Millar
Chorus:
POOR PRINCESS POLLY
SHE CAN’T STAND STILL
SHE NEVER HAS
AND SHE NEVER WILL!
She’s marching round the castle moat
Hup – two – three!
Let’s all march around the castle
Like Princess Polly
POOR PRINCESS POLLY
SHE CAN’T STAND STILL
SHE NEVER HAS
AND SHE NEVER WILL!
Now she’s doing jumping jacks
One – two – three
Let’s all do our jumping jacks
Like Princess Polly
POOR PRINCESS POLLY
SHE CAN’T STAND STILL
SHE NEVER HAS
AND SHE NEVER WILL!
Now she’s got an itchy streak
Oh – my – golly
Let’s scratch ourselves from head to toe
Like Princess Polly
POOR PRINCESS POLLY
SHE CAN’T STAND STILL
SHE NEVER HAS
AND SHE NEVER WILL!
extro:
POOR PRINCESS POLLY
SHE’S COUNTING SHEEP
I THINK SHE’S SLOWING DOWN
HEY, SHE FINALLY FELL ASLEEP!
(What a relief!)
