Polly Wolly Doodle

Polly Wolly Doodle

wikisource

"Polly Wolly Doodle" is a song first published in a Harvard student songbook in 1880.

"Polly Wolly Doodle" appears in the existing manuscript for Laura Ingalls Wilder's "These Happy Golden Years" exactly as it is used in the published version. It was not mentioned in any of the "Pioneer Girl" manuscripts. It is sometimes credited to Dan Emmett. The melody of this song as it is usually sung formed the basis for Boney M.'s hit "Hooray! Hooray! It's A Holi-Holiday" in 1979.
