Willie Long Leegs lyrics

Has du seen yun Willie-Long-leegs, spricklin' all ower da place?

Da only trouble is, gee whizz , ee's spricklin' all ower me fiss

Dis blisseet Willie-long-leegs, ee's doing da quid-a-reels

Birlin' in me hair an spangin' i da air

And jumpin' up apon me knees

But I am goin' ta catch dee

As du scrovils on da floor

An I am goin' ta flatch dee

Dan du'll be no more…….. (better no do dat)

Dis blisseet Willie-long-leegs

Am no faert fur dee

I hoop da peerie brute gets spaegie

Fur aa da grief dus gein ta me

Has du seen yun Willie-long-leegs, still birrin' roond an round?

His legs ir wuppit tagidder noo an ees maakin yun fuzzy sound

Dis blisseet Willie-long-leegs, still doin' da quid-a-reels

Birlin' in me hair an spangin' i da air

And jumpin' up apon me knees

But I am goin' ta catch dee

As do scrovils on da floor

An I am goin' ta flatch dee

Dan do'll be no more…….. (better no do dat)

Dis blisseet Willie-long-leegs

Am no faert fur dee

I hoop da peerie brute gets spaegie

Fur aa da grief dus gein ta me

I hoop da peerie brute gets spaegie

Fur aa da grief ees gein ta me
