Once I had a pretty girl
And pretty girl done gone
Once I had a pretty girl
To call my own
De de de
Once I had a shaggy dog
Shaggy dog done gone
Once I had a shaggy dog
To call my own
De de de
Once I had a singing group
Singing group done gone
Now I got another group
Didn't take too long
De de de...
Sha la la la...
De de de de
