Polly (Live Acoustic) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

[Verse 2]
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
Asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself
[Verse 3]
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me the will of instinct

[Chorus]
Isn't me, have a seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you, have been true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
