Eeny meeny miney mo,
Catch you trouble by the toe,
If it hollers let it go,
Let it fly away!

Eeny meeny miney mo,
It's the same, high or low,
Hear it everywhere you go,
Any time of day!

Big Ben rings it,
Vallee sings it,
Whiteman swings it,
Even Mister Crosby Bings it!

Eeny meeny miney mo,
Catch you trouble by the toe,
If it hollers let it go,
Let it fly away!
