Will you wear green, oh my dear, oh my dear?
Will you wear green, Jenny Jenkins?
I won't wear green, it can't be seen
I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally, walker belt-o-silk to wear with my robe
To go with m'robe, Jenny Jenkins

I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally fally
Double dose a dilly-dally
Suky, suky why man
As' a rosy, juicy why
Jenny Jenkins!

Oh, will you wear red, oh my dear, oh, my dear?
Will you wear red, Jenny Jenkins?
I won't wear red, it's the color of my head
I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally, walker belt-o-silk to wear with my robe
To go with my robe, Jenny Jenkins

I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally fally
Double dose a dilly-dally
Suky, suky why man
As' a rosy, juicy why
Jenny Jenkins!

Will you wear black, oh my dear, oh my dear?
Will you wear black, Jenny Jenkins?
I won't wear black, it's the color of my back
I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally, walker belt-o-silk to wear with my robe
To go with m'robe, Jenny Jenkins

I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally fally
Double dose a dilly-dally
Suky, suky why man
As' a rosy, juicy why
Jenny Jenkins!

Will you wear blue, Oh my dear, Oh my dear
Will you wear blue, Jennie Jenkins?
I won't wear blue, it's color of my shoe
I'll buy me a tally-fally-I-zer

I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally fally
Double dose a dilly-dally
Suky, suky why man
As' a rosy, juicy why
Jenny Jenkins!

Will you wear brown, Oh my dear, Oh my dear
Will you wear brown, Jennie Jenkins?
Yes I will wear brown, I'll go uptown
I'll wear me a tally-fally-I-zer

I'll buy me a tally fallyizer
I'll buy me a tally fally
Double dose a dilly-dally
Suky, suky why man
As' a rosy, juicy why
Jenny Jenkins!
