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 is grand,
and you'll be asinging
it to beat the band
You've heard of the ticket
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 shoothing
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 turkeytrot
or a shimmyonestep
But when grandma danced to it,
she thought it 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 shoothing
and appealing to me
It goes Ja-Da, Ja-Da,
Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing, Jing, Jing...[start]../song/8/8258.MID[stop]
