Polly screeches,
Polly squawks-
Hit her,
Hit her!
No - Polly talks.
Cracker,
Cracker,
Get a
Cracker
Quickly,
If you
Lack a
Cracker
Get a
Carrot
For the
Parrot,
Make a
Cake,
A carrot
Cake,
For the
Parrot
Likes a
Carrot
Bake.
We’ve no
Carrot,
We’ve no
Cake,
We’ve just
One grey
Pot-
Tay-
Toe.
But don’t dismay,
Don’t throw it away,
Turn that frown
Upside down
And make Polly
A hash brown.
Get that ‘tato,
Wash it good,
Dice it,
Slice it,
Grate that food.
Yet there’s no point tryin’
You’ll just be lyin’
(A childish craze)
You can’t make Browns of Grays
Except by marriage.
But don’t disparage,
‘stead of browns
make cookies
you hopeless rookies!
Give the bird
Hashcookies man,
Give the bird a bikkie,
Feed her weed,
And feed her greed,
And oblige
Her every need.
But Polly wants no cookies,
Polly wants no hash,
Polly spits the bikkie back
(Polly screeches,
Polly squawks)
"Polly wantsome craaaaaaaaaaack,
"Polly wantsome craaaaaaaaaaack!!"
