Deedle-Dee-Dum Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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, 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

Deedle, doo, doo, deedle de lee oo de
De lo de, de loo oo de, de lee oo de
Doo, doo, doodle, doodle de
