Now eenie meenie minie moe

Catch that monkey by the toe

If he hollers let him go

Eenie meenie minie moe

Scatty-ah, pa swings it so does ma

Scatty-ah, ma swings it so does pa

Scatty-ah, you swing it so do I

Scatty-ah, I swing it so do you

When he turns that handle down

Music goes around 'n' around

Everybody starts to sing

To that organ grinder's swing

Tra-la, pa swings it so does ma

Tra-la, ma swings it so does pa

Tra-la, you swing it so do I

Tra-la, I swing it so do you

Now all the children tag along

Just to listen to his song

Monkey dancing on a string

To the organ grinder's swing

Oh-hum

Oh-hum

Oh-hum

Oh-hum, I swing it so do you

Drop a nickle in his hat

Like a rich aristocrat

Every nickle that you fling

Makes that organ grinder swing

Hi-ho

Hi-ho

Hi-ho

Hi-ho, I swing it so do you

[Scat verse]

Eenie meenie minie moe

Catch that monkey by the toe

This music makes me want to sing

Oh you organ grinder's swing
