Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  



Jennie Fell Down

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1957 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1985.


Jennie fell down and bumped her nose.
Ouch wowch, there she goes,
Pick her up and dust her clothes.
Jennie fell down, kazoom.

Chorus:
Jennie falls down kazoom teboom
With a roll-y motion.
Jennie falls down kazoom teboom
Whenever she takes a notion.

Jennie fell down and bumped her ear.
Ouch, wowch, she feels so queer.
Pick her up and say, "Oh dear!"
Jennie fell down, kazoom.

(Chorus)

Jennie fell down and bumped her head.
"Ouch, wowch," is what she said.
Pick her up and put her to bed,
Jennie fell down, kazoom.

(Chorus)
