How d'ye do? How d'ye do?
What is on? Tell us do.
Let's have a game
one little game
that for mine
simply fine
come let's fall in to line
That's up to you.
Any place will do.
Anything that is suggested
I am always interested,
every game looks awfully good to me, see.
Everyone loves some fun,
now the time's just begun,
we'll have a spree
come and play with me.

I would like to try a ball game.
Won't you come and play with me.
Throw these little balls with straight aim.
Here you'll find the target,
if you win I'll kiss you.
Now I'll throw them up to you, boys,
then you'll throw them back at me....
You'll find it very easy.
Try once again to please me,
do come and play with me.

I would like to try a ball game.
Won't you come and play with me.
Throw these little balls with straight aim.
Here you'll find the target,
if you win I'll kiss you.
Now I'll throw them up to you, boys,
then you'll throw them back at me....
You'll find it very easy.
Try once again to please me,
do come and play with me.

I will go for a walk
any place for a talk
I'd like the same
if you are game,
or decide on a ride
and we'll go side by side.
That suits me great
anywhere you state.
You can count yourself elected.
Any place that is selected.
Anywhere is simply great to me, see.
Every miss loves to kiss
here's your chance
do not miss
this is the game.
Try it once again.

I would like to try a ball game.
Won't you come and play with me.
Throw these little balls with straight aim.
Here you'll find the target,
if you win I'll kiss you.
Now I'll throw them up to you, boys,
then you'll throw them back at me....
You'll find it very easy.
Try once again to please me,
do come and play with me.

I would like to try a ball game.
Won't you come and play with me.
Throw these little balls with straight aim.
Here you'll find the target,
if you win I'll kiss you.
Now I'll throw them up to you, boys,
then you'll throw them back at me....
You'll find it very easy.
Try once again to please me,
do come and play with me.
