Kidsongs Version:
- Say-say, oh, playmate,
- Come out and play with me!
- We'll play so happily,
- I'll climb the twisty tree!
- Jump on my rooftop;
- Land on the open door...
- And we'll be jolly friends
- Forevermore!
- Say say oh playmate,
- Come out and dance with me!
- We'll dance so happily...
- Under the twisty tree!
- Dance on my rooftop...
- And by the kitchen door...
- And we'll be jolly friends...
- Forevermore!
- Say say oh playmate,
- Come out and sing with me
- We'll sing so happily!
- Sing in the twisty tree.
- Sing on my roof top;
- Sing by the double door...
- And we'll be jolly friends...
- Forevermore!
Say say oh playmate,
Come out and play with me!
We'll play so happily,
I'll climb the twistee tree!
Jump on my roof top;
Land on the open door...
And we'll be jolly friends...forevermore!
Original Version:
Oh, little playmate, come out and play with me
And bring your dollies, three
Climb up my apple tree
Slide down my rain-barrel
And through my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forever more
But she couldn't come out and play
It was a rainy day
With tearful eye she breathed a sigh
And I could hear her say
I'm sorry, Playmate, I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain-barrel, ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends forever more
Well, she couldn't come out and play
It was a rainy day
With tearful eye she breathed a sigh
And I could hear her say
I'm sorry, Playmate, I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain-barrel, ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends forever more
