LYRICS:
You’ve heard all about your raggy melody.
Ev’rything from op’ra down to harmony.
But i’ve a little song that I will sing to you.
It’s gonna win you through and through.
There ain’t much to the words
But the music is grand,
And you’ll be a-singing it to beat the band.
You’ve heard of the tisket and tasket, it’s true.
But give a little listen to this, will you?
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing.
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing.
That’s a funny little bit of melody.
It’s so soothing and appealing to me.
It goes Ja-Da, Ja-Da,
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing.
Our bands have been digging back
For tunes to be sung.
Operas and nurs’ry rhymes have been overdone.
I dug a little deeper and I found this thing.
It’s ragtime but it still can swing.
It ain’t a turkey trot or a shimmy one-step,
But when grandma danced to it,
She thought she was hep.
It still is a ditty, I’m sure you will find,
Will keep a-runnin’ ’round
And around your mind.
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing.
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing.
That’s a funny little bit of melody.
It’s so soothing and appealing to me.
It goes Ja-Da, Ja-Da,
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing.
