Willa Won’t Ya

Willa Won’t Ya

Willa Willa Willa won't ya come with me
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna see
You got a lifetime
To find who you're gonna be
Willa won't ya come,
Willa won't ya go with me

Come outside I'll show ya two big lights
Sun in the morning and the moon at night
And twinkling stars a way up high
Like Christmas lights all in the midnight sky
Me oh my oh
Willa Willa Willa won't ya come with me
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna see
You got a lifetime
To find who you're gonna be
Willa won't ya come,
Willa won't ya go with me

You could fly like a bird, run like the wind
Swim like a fish, play the mandolin
Jump, jump, jump… like a kangaroo
And I'd be happy to jump like a kangaroo too
Doodle oot doo doo

May you have a good time
Each and every day
Do a little work, do a lotta play
Gonna learn a whole lot
From the folks 'round you
Your friends and relations
Like your mama and your daddy
And your aunts and your uncles
And your first and second cousins
And your grandmas and your grandpas too
Doodle oot doo doo

Willa Willa Willa won't ya come with me
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna see
You got a lifetime to be who you wanna be
Willa won't ya come, Willa won't ya go
Willa won't ya come, Willa won't ya go
Willa Willa Willa won't ya come and go with me

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Threads CD.
