Deedle de dum
Is the song that I hum
And the tune keeps ringing!
Deedle de dum
Is the song that I hum
And the world keeps singing!
Joy in my soul
As I merrily roll
On my way!
Deedle de dum
Is beginning to come
From the early birdies!
Deedle de dum
Is the melody heard
On the hurdy-gurdies!
Fun to be had
If you join in this glad
Round the lane
Spring is in the air
I haven't got a care
Hi ho, lackaday!
What a thrill to share
With people everywhere
My song, in a friendly way
I started alone
But the melody's grown
To a full size chorus
Deedle de deedle de, deedle de dum
And the world is for us!
Life is complete
And delightfully sweet
While I hum
Deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle de dum!
Yes, the melody's grown
To a full size chorus
Deedle de de, deedle de dum
And the world is for us!
Life is complete
And delightfully sweet
While I hum
Deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle de!
Deedle doo doody
Deedle doo doo deedle de lee oo de
De lo de, de loo oo de, de lee oo de
Doo doo doodle doodle de!
