Lyrics

Well, a bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
A bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
A bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
They can't get together at all
Just like the worm in the cornfield said to his brother
"Yeah, go in one ear and out the other"
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Well, a bucktoothed Clare and a cross-eyed Clyde
A bucktoothed Clare and a cross-eyed Clyde
Like old bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
They can't get together at all
Just like the worm in the cornfield said to his brother
"Yeah buddy, go in one ear and then out the other"
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Well, old slew-foot Sally and a pigeon-toed Sam
Slew-foot Sally and a pigeon-toed Sam
Like a bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
They can't get together at all
Just like the worm in the cornfield said to his brother
"Yeah, go in one ear and out the other"
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Well, a bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
Bowlegged Polly and a knock-kneed Paul
One bowlegged Polly and knock-kneed Paul
Well, they just can't get together at all
The worm in the cornfield said to his brother
"Yeah, go in one ear and then out the other"
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
