Verse 1: (Spoken)
There's a catchy little tune a floatin' through the air,
You hear it here and there,
They sing it ev'ry where
How it started, where it started
seems nobody knows.
But what's the diff'rence where it came from,
here's the way it goes:
Chorus 1:
C F C
Oh Playmate, come out and play with me
G
And bring your dollies three.
C
Climb up my apple tree.
F
Look down my rain barrel.
C
Slide down my cellar door
G C
And we'll be jolly friends forever more.
Verse:
F C
It was a rainy day.
F C
She couldn't come out to play.
F C
With tearful eyes and tender sighs,
I could hear her say:
Chorus 2:
F C
"I'm sorry Playmate, I cannot play with you.
G
My dollies have the flu,
C
Boo-hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo.
F
Can't climb your rain barrel.
C
Can't slide your cellar door
G C
But we'll be jolly friends forever more."
