Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- There’s a new tune in the air
And I’m right here to declare
That it’s gonna get you
Bound to get you
‘Cause it’s ev’rywhere
There are just three words you see
To a six note melody
Now, it won’t take long
To learn this song
It’s simple as can be
Chorus
“Daa Dee, Daa Dee, Daa Dee Dum”
You just hum, “Daa Dee Dum”
You can have a lot of fun
If you “Daa Dee Dum”
Oh, honey, now altogether ev’ryone
“Daa Dee, Daa Dee Dum”
If you’re lonesome, if you’re blue
If you miss your Daddy, too
You can bring him back if you
“Daa Dee, Daa Dee Dum”
- Ev’rywhere you go they croon
This peculiar little tune
And say do you like it
Sure you like it
Morning, night or noon
It is sugar in your tea
Is this haunting melody
It sounds its knell
You starts to yell
That “Daa Dee Dum” for me
