Pretty Polly Perkins Lyrics
Pretty Polly Perkins - Benny Lee
I'm a broken hearted milkman in grief I'm arrayed
Through keeping of the company of a young servant maid
Who lived on board wages the house to keep clean
In a gentleman's family near Paddington Green
Oh she was as beautiful as a butterfly
And proud as a queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
When I asked her to marry me
She said oh what stuff
And told me to drop it for she'd had quite enough
Of my nonsense
The same time I'd been very kind
But to marry a milkman
She didn't feel inclined
She was as beautiful as a butterfly
And proud as a queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
The words that she uttered
Went straight through my heart
I sobbed and I sighed and I straight did depart
With a tear on my eyelid as big as a bean
Bid farewell to Polly and Paddington Green
Oh she was as beautiful as a butterfly
And proud as a queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
In six months she married this hard hearted girl
But it was not a wi-count
And it was not a nearl
It was not a Baronite but a shade or two wuss
It was a bow legged conductor of a tuppenny bus
Oh she was as beautiful as a butterfly
And proud as a queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
