There's a peddler comes to our house

With such wonderful bargains to sell

And he starts our hearts to tingling

Just as soon as he pushed the bell



With his pots and pans so shiny

He's more fun than a penny arcade

Won't you listen to his sing song

Of the peddler's serenade



(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away

If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)



Angelina come-a down-a

It-sa the man he's back on the door

He's a gotta more to show you

Than the five and ten cents store

If you're gonna catch-a new husband

He's-a gotta 'bout all the you need

Only don't-a go for the peddler

He's already one wife and a kid



(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away

If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)



Every body loves our peddler

He's always so merry and so gay

He's-a pans they clang and they clatter

Making wonderful music all day



There's one for macaroni

And-a one for the garlic and the sauce

It's-a gotta long handle for showing the husband who's boss



(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away

If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)
