PLAYMATES

Oh, playmates, come out and play with me,
And bring your dollies three.
Climb up my apple tree,
Look down my rain barrel, slide down my cellar door,
And we'll be jolly friends forevermore.

Now she couldn't come out to play,
It was such a sunny day.
With a tearful eye,
She breathed a sigh,
And I could hear her say:

I'm sorry, playmates. I cannot play with you.
My dollies have the flu.
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo!
Ain't got no rain barrel, ain't got no cellar door,
But we'll be jolly friends forevermore.
