Polly wolly doodle- Shirley Temple Version. Key of G. Originally played on banjo, but sounds great on guitar! Easy to play too!* [Verse 1]
                G
Oh! I eat watermelon and I have for years, 

                                D
sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day; 
I like watermelon but it wets my ears,

sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day. 
[Verse 2]

Maybe grass tastes good to a moo cow's mouth, 

                                D
sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day; 
But I like chicken 'cause I'm from the south,
                                G
sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day. 
[Chorus]

Fare-thee well,

Mister gloom be on your way, 
If you think you're gonna worry, you can stop it in a huury,
