Oh Playmate, Come Out and Play With Me    (1894)

Say, say, oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Shout down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more more more more

Say, say, oh playmate
I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain barrel
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more more more more

--------------

The Playmates version:

There's a catchy little tune a floatin' through the air
You hear it here and there
They sing it ev'ry where
How it started, where it started seems nobody knows
But what's the diff'rence where it came from here's the way it goes

Oh Playmate, come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Look down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forever more

It was a rainy day, She couldn't come out to play
With tearful eyes and tender sighs
I could hear her say

I'm sorry Playmate, I cannot play with you
My dollies have the flu
Boo-hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain barrel
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends forever more

Lyrics by Philip Wingate and H.W. Petrie.
