Johnny Fife and Johnny's Wife
To save their toes and heels
They built themselves a little house
That ran on rolling wheels
They hung their parrot at the door
Upon a painted ring
And round and round the world they went
And never missed a thing
And when they wished to eat they ate
And after they had fed
They crawled beneath a crazy quilt
And snugly went to bed
Oh, Johnny Fife and Johnny's Wife
They took their brush and comb
And round and round the world they went
And also stayed at home
Round & Round, Up and Down
Side to Side, Far and Wide
They traveled here, they traveled there
They lived their life without a care
Round and round the world they went
And also stayed at home
Oh, Johnny Fife and Johnny's Wife
They saw things everywhere
And sent back cards to all their friends
Back home in Delaware
They never had to pack a bag
They never missed the phone
Round and round the world they went
And also stayed at home
Round & Round, Up and Down
Side to Side, Far and Wide
They traveled here, they traveled there
They lived their life without a care
Round and round the world they went
And also stayed at home
They lived their life without a care
Round and round the world they went
And also stayed at home
Based on a poem by Mildred Plew Meigs
