Polly
Polly wouldn't listen to her Mama,
Polly wouldn't listen to her Papa.
She tried to make the swinging city scene,
And now there's not a place that Polly hasn't 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,
She's so darling, all the fellas do agree,
And half a million people can't 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.
Mummy's proud 'cause Polly's still in chains
She's happy now her baby's 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, she's happy now her baby's 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.
Polly
Polly no escuchaba a su Mamá,
Polly no escuchaba a su Papá.
Intentó ser parte de la escena de la ciudad bulliciosa,
Y ahora no hay lugar donde Polly no haya estado.
Polly, bonita bonita Pollyanna,
Bonita bonita Pollyanna,
Bonita Polly Garter
Oh, creo que la bonita Polly debería haberse quedado en casa.
Bonita Polly, vestida tan alegre como puede ser,
Es tan encantadora, todos los chicos están de acuerdo,
Y medio millón de personas no pueden estar equivocadas,
Oh, creo que la bonita Polly debería haberse quedado en casa.
Polly escribió una carta a su Mamá,
Polly confesó a su Papá.
Mamá está orgullosa porque Polly sigue encadenada,
Está feliz ahora que su bebé vuelve a casa.
Bonita Polly, aprendió que la vida es solo un juego,
Ella está arrepentida, tuvo que romper las cadenas.
Y Mamá sabe, porque Mamá era igual,
Oh, está feliz ahora que su bebé vuelve a casa.
Polly, bonita bonita Pollyanna,
Bonita bonita bonita bonita Pollyanna,
Bonita Polly Garter
Oh, Polly, bonita bonita Pollyanna,
Bonita bonita bonita bonita Pollyanna,
Bonita Polly Garter
Creo que la bonita Polly debería haberse quedado en casa.
