The Dipsy Doodle - Tommy Dorsey

The dipsy doodle is 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.

You can’t eat, you can’t sleep.

You go crazy.

You’re just a victim of the dipsy doodle

And it’s not your mind that’s hazy

It’s your heart that’s at fault — not your noodle.

You better listen and try to be good

And try to do all the things that you should

The dipsy doodle will get you some day

And when it gets you the things you will say

Like the moon jumped over the cow — hey diddle!
