Tommy Makem - Lolly Toodum lyrics

As I went out one morning to take the pleasant air Lolly-too-dumb, too-dumb, lolly-too-dumb day As I went out one morning to take the pleasant air I overheard a mother a-scoldin' her daughter fair Lolly-too-dumb, too-dumb, lolly-too-dumb day "You better go wash them dishes and hush that clattering tongue Lolly, etc I know you want to get married and that you are too young Lolly, etc." "Oh, pity my condition as you would your own For seventeen long years I've been sleeping all alone."
