Lyrics
Skinny was born in a bathtub And grew so incredibly thin That even the end of an eyedropper sucked him in Skinny never knew any questions Skinny never looked at lights But Skinny sold something every single night
Skinny sold a soldier to me Skinny sold a wife Skinny sold a suction cup and a knife Skinny found a "Hello Dolly" record in the hall He sold it to a truck driver in the fall
Hello, Dolly Hello, Dolly Hello, Dolly Hello
