Polly Want a Cracker

If Polly comes to town

And you have no food around

She will serve a beak down

That puts you six feet underground

Polly want a cracker

Polly want it now

Polly want a cracker

Polly want it now

Polly is a stubborn bird

Who demands to be heard

A force to be reckoned with

Cross her and there’s consequence

Polly is a greedy parrot

If there’s food, she won’t share it

If you’re starving, grin and bear it

Extra portions, she can’t spare it

Polly want a cracker

Polly want it now

Polly want a cracker

Polly want it now

Polly does not diet

She’s refused to even try it

Got some seed? Best supply it

Otherwise, Polly will riot

If Polly comes to town

And you have no food around

She will serve a beak down

That puts you six feet underground

(Whispered over solo)

Polly want a cracker

Polly want it now

Fetch Polly a cracker

Or catch a beak down

(Bridge)

Heed this advice

Unlike other parrots

Polly will not ask twice

If she must repeat herself

You will pay the price

So get that bird a cracker or

You can bet your life

That Polly’s one bad mother plucker

POLLY WANT A CRACKER

POLLY WANT A CRACKER NOW

BETTER FETCH POLLY A CRACKER

LEST YOU CATCH A BEAK DOWN

IF YOU WANT TO SEE TOMORROW

BETTER BEG STEAL OR BORROW

CAUSE WHEN POLLY WANTS A CRACKER MAGGOT

POLLY WANTS IT NOW!
