Lyrics

  1. You’ve heard of Mary and her lamb
    But that was long ago
    So now I’ll tell a little tale
    Of Mary and her beau
    He used to call, but that was all
    He’d sit there every night
    He was too slow for Mary
    So she’d yell with all her might

Chorus:
O, bob me up and down, Bob
Bob me on your knee
I am old enough to know
And you are “twenty three”
How’d you like to always have
A loving girl like me?
O bob me up and down, Bob
Bob me on your knee

  1. Now Bobbie did not all one night
    Till it was rather late
    And then, tho’ Bob was very slow
    He quickly knew his fate
    As on the parlor window blind
    Two shadows he could see
    For Mary to some other Bob
    Was singing in her glee
