I once knew a little girl
She wore a hole in her britches
Come walkin' right down the street
Every time she go she go toodley oodley
She goes to everybody she meets
I was walkin' down the street the other day
I seen the same ole girl myself
And I give that girl a tote no nickel short
"A toodle ooh" said that gal

Aw, she could toodle oodle
Aw she toodle oodle
That's all the poor girl do
Aw, she could toodle oodle
Yes she toodle oodle
That's all she could do

Her mama phoned the doctor
Says come here quick
'Cause I believe I got to have my daughter check‑a‑check
Yes she toodle oodle
Yes she toodle oodle
Toodle oodle oodle ooh

Aw, she could toodle oodle
Boy she toodle oodle
Toodle oodle oodle ooh
Aw, she could toodle oodle ooh
Yes she toodle oodle ooh
Toodle ooh ooh ooh

Well the doctor came
Says "I never seen such
Your daughter got the fever
She toodle‑ooh too much
She could toodle oodle
Yes, she toodle oodle
Toodle oodle oodle ooh

Yes she toodle ooh
Aw, she can toodle
Boy, she can toodle ooh
Aw, she could toodle oodle ooh

Toodle‑ooh in the summer, in the fall
Got so cold she couldn't toodle‑ooh at all

Aw, she could toodle oodle
Yes she toodle oodle
That's all the poor girl do

Her mama's in the kitchen cooking in a stew
Me around the house just a toodle‑oodle‑ooh

Aw she toodle ooh
Yes she toodle ooh
Toodle oodle oodle ooh
Aw she toodle ooh
Boy, she can toodle ooh
That's all the poor girl do

Well she went to leave me
Went and stumped her shoe
Fell down and broke her little toodle oodle ooh
She can toodle ooh
She can toodle ooh
Toodle oodle ooh
