If I Were Not a Bright Girl Guide

 
If I were not a bright Girl Guide
Something else I'd rather be
If I were not a bright Girl Guide
A washer woman I would be
I'd be working all day long, singing this old song
Wishy-washy, wishy-washy hanging up the clothes
Wishy-washy, wishy-washy hanging up the clothes

If I were not a bright Girl Guide
Something else I'd rather be
If I were not a bright girl guide
A bus conductor I would be
I'd be working all day long, singing this old song
Move along there, move along there, no more room inside, ding!
Move along there, move along there, no more room inside, ding!
Wishy-washy, wishy-washy hanging up the clothes
Wishy-washy, wishy-washy hanging up the clothes

A secretary I would be
Taking shorthand, taking shorthand, sitting on the bosses knee, oh!
Taking shorthand, taking shorthand, sitting on the bosses knee, oh!
Move along there, move along there, no more room inside, ding!
Move along there, move along there, no more room inside, ding!
Wishy-washy, wishy-washy hanging up the clothes
Wishy-washy, wishy-washy hanging up the clothes
