Playmate

by H.W. Petrie

See, see my playmate,
Come out and play with me,
And bring your dollies three,
Climb up my apple tree,
Holler down my rain barrel,
Slide down my cellar door,
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever evermore.

Oh no, my playmate,
I can't come play with you,
My dollies have the flu,
Boo hoo, boo hoo,
Can't holler down rain barrels,
Or slide down a cellar door,
But we'll be jolly friends
Forever evermore.

Say, say, my playmate,
Don't come and play with me,
Don't bring your dollies three,
Cut down my apple tree,
Fall off my rainbow,
Into my cellar door,
And we'll be enemies
Forever evermore.

Say, say my enemy,
Come out and fight with me,
And bring your bulldogs three,
Climb up my sticker tree,
Slide down my lightning,
Into my dungeon door,
And we'll be jolly enemies
Forever evermore.

Say, say old enemy,
Come out and fight with me,
And bring your BB gun,
And we'll have lots of fun,
I'll scratch your eyes out,
And make you bleed to death,
And we'll be jolly enemies
Forever evermore.

Oh, little enemy,
I cannot fight with you,
My mommy said not to,
Boo hoo, boo hoo,
I can't scratch your eyes out,
And make you bleed to death,
But we'll be jolly enemies
Forever evermore.
