Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick. So she phoned for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick. The doctor came with his bag and his hat And he knocked at the door with a rat-a-tat-tat. He looked at the dolly and he shook his head And he said “Miss Polly, put her straight to bed!” He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill “I’ll be back in the morning yes I will, will, will.”
