Ah, good morning kidlets
I'm gonna tell you a story in song 
About what happened in 
Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen by the Sea

There's a tiny house, (there's a tiny house)
By a tiny stream, (by a tiny stream)
Where a lovely lass, (where a lovely lass) 
Had a lovely dream, (had a lovely dream)
And her dream came true, (and her dream came true)
Quite unexpectedly 
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen by the Sea 

She was out one day, (she was out one day)
Where the tulips grow, (where the tulips grow) 
When a handsome lad, (when a handsome lad)
Stopped to say hello, (stopped to say hello)
And before she knew, (and before she knew)
He kissed her tenderly 
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen by the Sea 

The happy pair were married
One Sunday afternoon 
They left the church and ran away
To spend their honeymoon 

In a tiny house, (in a tiny house)
By a tiny stream, (by a tiny stream)
Where the lovely lass, (where the lovely lass)
Had a lovely dream, (had a lovely dream)
And the last I heard, (and the last I heard)
They still lived happily 
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen by the Sea

So now you've heard the story, of how it all begun
(I think I'd like to go there)
That's a good idea son !

Sing it very soft, (sing it very soft)
Pianissimo, (pianissimo)
Like a little bird, (like a little bird)
Walking in the snow, (walking in the snow)
That was very nice, (that was very nice)
Now sing it merrily
It's Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen by the Sea
