Haha i kissed polly goodnight haha as we stood at her front door
Now she's quite a proper lady so i didn't ask for anything more
But haha i was feeling oh so groovie that i went down to the movie
And i sat down and guess just what i saw
I saw polly in a porny down at the dirty flicks
I saw polly in a porny i didn't know she knew them tricks
What i seen nearly struck me blind i never knew she was the artically inclined
I saw polly in a porny with a pony and i've nearly blowed my mind
Was she gallopin' (no no no) oh was she trottin' (no no no)
Oh was she riding across the country with some tall dark handsome person
Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat haha well not exactly that
But at least i recall she had her spurs on
I love ol' polly in a porny i keep on going back
Yeah in the very last row i'm singin' low with my coat bouncin' in my lap ooh
I spend each dime i can afford i swear she's gonna win an academy award
I saw polly in a porny with a pony and the pony seemed a little bored
Ooh oh ride polly ride slide polly slide
