Miss Poly

 

Miss Poly had a dolly
Who was sick, sick, sick,
So she called for a doctor
To come quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came
With his bag and his hat,
And he knocked on the door
With a rat-tat-tat!
He looked at the dolly
And he shook his head,
He said, "Miss Polly,
Put her straight to bed."

He wrote on a paper
For a pill, pill, pill.
"I'll be back in the morning
With my bill, bill, bill."
