Yoo‑Hoo O' Skinnay
Language: English
Summer has come with a bound, There's happiness all around, As you walk down the street your sweetheart to meet, You hear this familiar sound. Summer, if you could but stay, And never would go away, Oh, how happy I'd be, the sunshine to see, And hear all the kiddies say, Chorus Yoo-Hoo, O' Skinnay, Won't you come over to my house and play? I've got a kite and a big long string, I've got some marbles and ev'rything. Yoo-Hoo, come right away, We'll have lots of time to play; You stay till night 'cause we won't fight, Yoo-Hoo, come on over, Skinnay.
