Polly Got A Cracker 1912

When I started out in life
I surely thought I's some
You can bet your boots I was a smacker
My name it is Joe,
If the rest you want to know,
My full name is Joseph Cracker.
I flirted with the girls
and I played with their curls,
and you know all girls like a cracker;
They call me Uncle Joe
and parrots surely know
Polly wants a cracker.

Polly wants a cracker,
Polly wants a cracker,
Of all the girls
I won't have none,
Unless they say
and not for fun,
Polly wants a cracker,
Polly wants a cracker.

Now I wanted me a wife,
I only knew of one,
and her name I know was Polly Smacker,
I'd have none at all,
it is understood by all
'Til she says Polly wants a Cracker.
I met Polly on the street
and she looked neat and sweet,
And I asked if I could smack her,
She raised the neighbors by
she did so loudly cry,
Polly wants a cracker.

Polly wants a cracker,
Polly wants a cracker,
Of all the girls
I won't have none,
Unless they say
and not for fun,
Polly wants a cracker,
Polly wants a cracker.

Then I took her by the hand
and I led her to her home,
and I asked her if she'd have a cracker,
She said in reply,
Get the Preacher or I'll die
You know sweet Polly wants a Cracker.
So now you see we're one,
and the fun's just begun
Getting shoes for them little crackers,
and before we're turning grey
a house full then I'll say,
Little Johnny Crackers.

Polly got a cracker,
Polly got a cracker,
Of all the girls
I sure got one,
And she can say
and not for fun,
Polly got a cracker,
Polly got a cracker.
