Wee Willie's Lost His Marley
Wee Willie's lost his marley*,
wee Willie's lost his marley,
Wee Willie's lost his marley,
down the Springfield Road.*
Oh, he lost it down a gratin',*
he lost it down a gratin',
He lost it down a gratin',
down the Springfield Road.
So he went and got a clothespole*,
he went and got a clothespole,
He went and got a clothespole,
down the Springfield Road.
And he shoved it down the gratin',
he shoved it down the gratin',
He shoved it down the gratin',
down the Springfield Road.
But he didn't get his marley,
he didn't get his marley,
He didn't get his marley,
down the Springfield Road.
So he went and got his brother,
he went and got his brother,
He went and got his brother,
down the Springfield Road.
And he shoved him down the gratin', etc.
But he didn't get his marley, etc.
So he went and got some dynamite, he went and got some dynamite,
He went and got some dynamite, down the Springfield Road.
And he shoved it down the gratin', etc.
And he blew up the gratin', he blew up the gratin',
He blew up the gratin', and half of the Springfield Road.
Now wee Willie's got his marley, wee Willie's got his marley,
Wee Willie's got his marley, down the Springfield Road.
'Cause he found it in his pocket, he found it in his pocket,
He found it in his pocket, down the Springfield Road.
