Willie Nilly sung by Margie, Leah, and Joanne

Lyrics
William D. H. Nilly
Yes, he's a friend of mine
I never know quite when I'll see him
But to see him is divine

William Nilly married Nelly
Nelly Nilly three tikes bore
Nelson, Ned, and Will the 2nd
But on her way to number four

She slipped and fell upon a hillside
"William Nilly!" Nelly cried
"Darling, I have always loved you"
Then she gasped her last and died

William Nilly, widower
Would waken in the night and weep
Missing Nelly, night or not
When wide-awake or in his sleep

Circumstance, and happenstance
And Willie Nilly knows not why
I salute, feel charmed to know him
Every time he passes by

For William he's a widower
And I, alas, a widow
Were he to say he loved me
I might in fact, say 'ditto.'

Serendipity's a friend
There's pleasure in not knowing
What you might find around the bend
Where e'er you may be going
