Lyrics

Polly, I want to speak to you about Bobby Child

Ohhhh, him

Ya, Polly. Oh he's a wonderful boy. And he has told me that is ... crazy for you

Well, I can't help that. I'm already spoken for

You are?

Yes, in my heart anyway

Oh, it is that Lank person, ya? I tell you, I don't  like him

No, it isn't Lank!

Moose
You just don't understand anything, do ya?
(sung)
Dozens of men would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn't warm up
To one before

Pete. Sam

What was it that controlled me
What kept my love life lean

Lank, Moose, Pete, Sam

My intuition told me
You'd come on the scene

Me???

Mister, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat
Uh-oh

And you'll know just what I mean

Polly? Polly? Polly? You've making a big mistake here!

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you

Polly, wait. Polly? We gotta have a talk about this

Embrace me, my irreplaceable you

This is not what I was planning

Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me

That's because I'm Hungarian
I love all the many charms about you

Oh, you're making a big joke, now, ya?

Above all I want my arms about you

OK, it's not a joke

Don't be a naughty baby
Come to Polly, come to Polly do
My sweet embraceable you

Now, Polly, we gotta have a talk. This is not right. Please. Now just imagine if I was Bobby, ya?

Oh you dance even better than he does!

No, I don't think so

In your arms I find love so delectable, dear
I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear
But hang it, come on, let's glorify love
Ding dang it, you'll show "Encore!" if I love
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to Polly, come to Polly do
My sweet embraceable you

My sweet embraceable...
