Listen to me, Polly, while you can
You're a pretty Polly, ask any man
Soon you will awake
And you'll want to take the world
That's when I'll lose you
Wide-eyed, pretty Polly
Soon you'll be worldly, pretty Polly
For all to see
Youth lasts for a moment
Hold on to that moment
Spend your moment close to me
Don't change, pretty Polly
When you fly
Ride your rainbow, Polly, across the sky
One day you'll be going
I know you'll be going
When the face of love appears
But I would love you, Polly
To stay, pretty Polly
For another hundred years
