Song: Hey Lolly

December 23, 2020 by Megan

Hey Lolly is one of the catchiest songs we sing in preschool music class. I often find myself humming the tune and my kids and I sing it a lot around the house.

Hey Lolly not only has a catchy tune and rhythm, but the lyrics are extremely simple and adaptable.

I’ve always loved this Woody Guthrie recording of Hey Lolly:

This Woody Guthrie version goes on with quite a few verses, but I always just stick with the opening lyrics:

Hey Lolly, Lolly, Lolly,

Hey Lolly, Lolly, lo

Hey Lolly, Lolly, Lolly,

Hey Lolly, Lolly, lo

It’s easy to sub kids’ names in the place of “Lolly” which makes this a good hello or welcoming song. You can also use it to sing about family members by replacing “Lolly” with “mommy”, “daddy”, “baby” or other family names.

I like to use this song in my Llama Llama Red Pajama lesson plan to introduce the Llama Llama story.
