Einey Meiny Miney Mo

An original by Anna van Riel

VS1 Well I’m a sweet little girl from a quaint little town But were so few boys to spread around So I packed my bag and I left the South Got me a reputation but it’s all just word of mouth

VS2 They call me Greedy Jean, the baddest girl in town The mothers they all say that I like to get around But please just block your ears, for it’s simply just a lie Although I’m quite a different girl when all the boys go marching by

Ch Uh uh oh, what’s a girl to do With so many good lookin boys like you I don’t mean to state the obvious But somehow I don’t think I’m meant to be monogamous Uh uh Oh, what’s a boy to say When a girl like me asks if she can come and play Just one man I don’t think so It’s too much fun with einey meiny miney mo

VS3 I’m not your normal girl so I really shouldn’t speak I tried to have one lover but he didn’t last a week He had pretty eyes, I must admit they beckon But navy boys came into town and I dropped him in one second

VS4 And one-by-one the boys come marching by I get bored so quickly yet the lord knows how I try Chocolates from Henry, satin handkerchief from James Roses from Montgomery, I shouldn’t play these games but

Ch Uh uh oh, what’s a girl to do With so many good lookin boys like you I don’t mean to state the obvious But somehow I don’t think I’m meant to be monogamous Uh uh Oh, what’s a boy to say When a girl like me asks if she can come and play Just one man I don’t think so It’s too much fun with einey meiny miney mo It’s too much fun with einey meiny miney mo
