Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics) Now eenie meenie minie moe, Catch that monkey by the toe, If he hollers let him go, Eenie meenie minie moe. Scatty-ah, pa swings it so does ma, Scatty-ah, ma swings it so does pa, Scatty-ah, you swing it so do I, Scatty-ah, I swing it so do you. When he turns that handle down Music goes around 'n' around, Everybody starts to sing To that organ grinder's swing. Tra-la, pa swings it so does ma, Tra-la, ma swings it so does pa, Tra-la, you swing it so do I, Tra-la, I swing it so do you. Now all the children tag along, Just to listen to his song, Monkey dancing on a string, To the organ grinder's swing. Oh-hum Oh-hum Oh-hum Oh-hum, I swing it so do you. Drop a nickle in his hat Like a rich aristocrat, Every nickle that you fling Makes that organ grinder swing. Eenie meenie minie moe, Catch that monkey by the toe, This music makes me want to sing, Oh you organ grinder's swing.
