Oh well,
this is a story about Willie the Weeper.
Now, Willie the Weeper was a chimney sweeper.
He had to have a boy hiding behind.
Let me tell you about a dream he had.

Oh well, it went to the hop house of the nines,
where he knew the lights were always shining bright.
Oh well,
he called to the boys to bring him some hop.
Started in a smoking like he'd never stop.

Oh well,
after he had smoked about a dozen pills,
he says he saw the cure for my aching hills.
Oh well,
he turned on the sun and he went to sleep.
Dreamed he was a sailor on the ocean deep.
Dee,

Oh well,
they played draw a poke as they left the land.
He won a million dollars on the very first hand.
Oh well,
he played and he played until the crew went broke.
Then he turned around and had another smoke.
Dee,

Oh well, he came to the island of Siam.
He rubbed his eyes and said,
I wonder where I am.
He played crafts with the king.
He won a million more.
I have to leave the island because the king got sore.
Dee,

Oh well,
he went to Monte Carlo where he played roulette.
He couldn't lose a penny, but he won every bet.
Oh well,
he played and he played until the bank went broke.
Then he turned around and had another smoke.
Dee, dee, dee, dee, da, dee, dee, dee, dee, da.
Ba, da, da, da, da, dee, da, da.
Oh well,
then he thought he better be a sailor for home.
Well, he chartered a ship and sailed away alone.
Oh well, the ship hit a rock.
He hit the floor.
Oh well,
the dope came out and the dream was all.
Dee,

Oh well,

Now, Willie the Weeper was a young pox eater.
Someday a pale too manly he'll take.
And dreaming that he's dead he will forget to wake.
