Four Lads: "Gilly, Gilly, Ossenfeffer, Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea"

Ah, good morning kidlets, I'm going to tell you a story in song about what happened in Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea.

There's a tiny house (there's a tiny house)
By a tiny stream (by a tiny stream),
Where a lovely lass (where a lovely lass)
Had a lovely dream (had a lovely dream),
And her dream came true (and her dream came true)
Quite unexpectedly
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea.

She was out one day (she was out one day)
Where the tulips grow (where the tulips grow),
When a handsome lad (when a handsome lad)
Stopped to say hello (stopped to say hello),
And before she knew (and before she knew)
He kissed her tenderly,
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen 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 (in a tiny house)
By a tiny stream (by a tiny stream),
Where the lovely lass (where the lovely lass)
Had a lovely dream (had a lovely dream).
And the last I heard (and the last I heard),
They still lived happily
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea,
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea.

So now you've heard the story of how it all begun,
I think I'd like to go there,
That's a good idea,
Son!

Sing it very soft (sing it very soft),
Pianissimo (pianissimo),
Like a little bird (like a little bird),
Walking in the snow (walking in the snow):
That was very nice (that was very nice),
Now sing it merrily,
It's Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea,
(Sshh) In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea,
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea!
