All right
Watch it, watch it
Say man
Hattie told Mattie
About a thing she saw
Had two big horns
And a wooly jaw
[Chorus]
Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully
Hattie told Mattie
Don't you take no chance
Don't you be L7
Come and learn to dance
[Chorus]
Hey watch it now, man
Watch it, watch it
Mattie told Hattie it's the thing to do
Get yourself a filly
To pull the wool with you
[Chorus]
You got it, you got it
