Ah good morning kidlets
I'm going to tell you
a story in song
About what happened
in Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
There's a tiny house
By a tiny stream
Where a lovely lass
Had a lovely dream
And her dream
came true
Quite unexpectedly
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
She was out one day
Where the tulips grow
When a handsome lad
Stopped to say hello
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
By a tiny stream
Where the lovely lass
Had a lovely dream
And the last I heard
They still lived happily
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
So now you've heard
the story of how
it all begun
That's a good idea
Sing it very soft
pianissimo
Like a little bird
walking in the snow
That was very nice
Now sing it merrily
It's Gilly Gilly
Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer
Katzenellenbogen
by the sea
