Nanook rubs it, Alfie loves it
This here basket, really shoves it
Here's your quarter, here's your dollar
Let's play ring around the collar
Hup! Hey, get it now!

Little Dots Version



There was a man and a dog
Squattin' on a log
He had him bitin' on a stick
Until the bark was all gone
Here, little fella
Sit up and beg
Open your jaws
And lift up your leg
That little doggie's name was Rollo
His little doggie dealie was hollow

A little while later on
Further down the road
There was a lady and a man
Who was about to get blowed
Here, little fella
Sit up and beg
Open your jaws
And lift up your leg
That little husband's name was Rollo
And his old lady's name was Swallow

Rollo, if you love me, do like I told ya
And fetch unto me a baroque magnolia
