Hey Willie!
Willie can you cook, can you cook, hey Willie
Willie can you save a dollar bill
Willie can you sew, can you sew, hey Willie
Willie can you give a girl a thrill
Willie can you ride a black-eyed stallion
Willie can you fight a bear
Willie can you love, can you love, oh Willie
Willie will you braid my hair
Willie can you do the things I ask you
Willie can you do them true
(Willie can, Willie can, Willie can, fair lady)
(If Willie takes a shine to you)
Ooooh, Willie can you dance, can you prance, hey Willie
Willie can you take me to the fair
Willie there's a moon, there's a moon, oh Willie
Willie will you say you care
Willie can you dig a hole to China
Willie can you climb a tree
Willie can you kiss, can you kiss, oh Willie
Willie will you please kiss me
Willie can you do the things I ask you
Willie can you do them true
(Willie can, Willie can, Willie can, fair lady)
(If Willie takes a shine to you)
Ooooh, Willie can you run, can you run, oh Willie
Willie can you catch a honey bee
Willie can you sing, can you sing, oh Willie
Willie will you sing to me
Willie can you try to swim the Channel
Willie can you fly a kite
Willie are you bold, can you hold me Willie
Willie will you squeeze me tight
Willie can you do the things I ask you
Willie can you do them true
Willie can, Willie can, Willie can, fair lady
If Willie takes a shine to you
Willie can you do the things I ask you
Willie can you do them true
Willie can, Willie can, Willie can, fair lady
If Willie takes a shine to you
