Lyrics

Kidsongs Version:

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

Say say oh playmate

Come out and dance with me

We'll dance so happily

Under the twistee tree

Dance on my roof top

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 twistee 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

Forever more

And we'll be jolly friends

Forevermore

Original Version:

Playmate, come out and play with me

And bring your dollies, three

Climb up my apple tree

Look down my rain-barrel

Slide down 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
