My Dolly, Polly Angelina Brown,
Has a pretty little bonnet,
And a pretty little gown;
A pretty little bonnet,
With a lovely feather on it;
Oh, there's not another like it
To be found in all the town!
My Dolly, Polly, is a precious little pet;
Her eyes are bright as jewels,
And her hair is black as jet;
I hug her, and I kiss her!
And oh, how I should miss her
If she were taken from me;
Oh how I should grieve and fret!
My little brother Charley,
Says my Dolly is "a muff,"
And he calls her other horrid names
Though that is bad enough;
And though he's very clever,
I never, no, I never
Let him handle her or dandle her,
For boys, you know, are rough.
My Dolly's always smiling;
She was never known to frown.
And she looks so very charming
In her Sunday hat and gown.
You really ought to see her
To get a good idea
Of the beauty of my Dolly,
Polly Angelina Brown.
