The Dipsy Doodle

The Dipsy Doodle - Ella Fitzgerald

The Dipsy Doodle's the thing to beware

The Dipsy Doodle will get in your hair

And if it gets you it couldn't be worse

The things you say will come out in reverse

Like "You love I and me love you"

That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works

The Dipsy Doodle's easy to find

You know it's always in back of your mind

You never know it until it's too late

And then you're in such a terrible state

Like "The moon jumped over the cow hey diddle"

That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works

Whenever you think you're crazy

You're just a victim of the Dipsy Doodle

Ah but it's not your mind that's hazy

It's your tongue that's at fault not your noodle

Doo doo doo do the Dipsy Doodle

The Dipsy Doodle will get you some day

Like "Rhythm got I and hot am I"

That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works
