Let's all sing!

[xiphias]

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel,
Lullaby Lilla boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker n' too-da-loo!
Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!

Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloup, 'lope with you!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarum bung-a-loo!

Thank you Ian! Here's a little illustration to go with it:

My 11-year-old niece was singing that this afternoon, which threw me a bit, as I hadn't heard it in probably 20 years. Her mother and I inherited the "Songs Of The Pogo" album from our grandmother when we were kids.

There's an _album_?

Yup, issued in 1956 and out of print since shortly thereafter. <googles>Oh look, it's been reissued on CD. That might be said niece's birthday present.
