(Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
Deedle deedle dumplin', my son John
Went to sleep with his stockings on (hey, hey, hey!)
One shoe off, one shoe on
Deedle deedle dumplin', my son John
Hey, hey yay
You say ya love me all the time
You're sayin' that you'll always be mine
Well, I feel I got to tell ya
It sounds like a nursery rhyme
Verse 1:
You say you're gonna see me tomorrow
And when you don't you fill me with sorrow
Hey Little Miss Muffet, you're makin' me your Little Boy Blue
Don't ya know you're drivin' me crazy?
Treatin' me just like a baby
I'm through with Mother Goosie and bedtime stories from you
Chorus:
Deedle deedle dumplin', my son John
Went to sleep with his stockings on
(Hey, hey, hey!)
One shoe off, one shoe on
Deedle deedle dumplin', my son John
Hey hey yay
You say ya love me all the time
You're sayin' that you'll always be mine
Well, I feel I got to tell ya
It sounds like a nursery rhyme
Verse 2:
Why we always havin' these hassles?
What about the rainbows and castles?
Hey Little Bo Peep, you're gonna lose your Old King Cole
Well, I don't like the games that you're playin'
I can't believe the things that you're sayin'
I feel like Humpty Dumpty and I used to be a merry ole soul
(Hey, hey, hey)
Chorus:
Deedle deedle dumplin', my son John
Went to sleep with his stockings on
(Hey, hey, hey!)
One shoe off, one shoe on
Deedle deedle dumplin', my son John
Hey hey yay
You say ya love me all the time
You're sayin' that you'll always be mine
Well, I feel I got to tell ya
It sounds like a nursery rhyme
Well I feel I got to tell ya
It sounds like a nursery rhyme
(hey hey hey hey hey hey hey-ya)
Well I feel I got to tell ya
It sounds like a nursery rhyme!
(yeah yeah heh)
I feel I got to tell ya
It sounds like a nursery rhyme!
