Polly - The Kinks

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
