Lyrics

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Won't you be my darling?

One wheel's off and the axel's broken
One wheel's off and the axel's broken
One wheel's off and the axel's broken
Won't you be my darling?

Freddie's gonna fix it with his hammer
Freddie's gonna fix it with his hammer
Freddie's gonna fix it with his hammer
Won't you be my darling?

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Won't you be my darling?

One wheel's off and the axel's broken
One wheel's off and the axel's broken
One wheel's off and the axel's broken
Won't you be my darling?

Laura's gonna fix it with her pliers
Laura's gonna fix it with her pliers
Laura's gonna fix it with her pliers
Won't you be my darling?

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Won't you be my darling?
