Polly says “JELL-O for me”]
If cast upon a desert isle Like Crusoe long ago, How dull the diet soon would be How jaded you would grow!
Your gun would get you meat enough, Your line would catch your fish, But what a hunger you would have For some nice snappy dish.
Then just suppose one sunny day, While striding on the beach, You’d hear your jolly Polly give A most delightful screech.
And this is what old Pol would say-- For he’s a jolly fellow-- “I don’t want crackers, no-sir-ee, When I can feast on Jell-O.
“We’ve lots of nuts on this here isle; Go pick ’em, Mr. Crusoe, We’d like to eat a good dessert, Get busy and we’ll do so.”
There are six pure fruit flavors of Jell-O: Strawberry, Raspberry,Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate. Every child wants the little book,“Miss Jell-O Gives a Party,” and we will send it free upon request, butbe sure your name and address are plainly written.
