Crazy Words, Crazy Tunes

|
There's a guy I'd like to kill
|
If he doesn't stop I will
|
He's got a ukulele, and a voice that's loud and shrill.
|
'Cause he lives next door to me
|
And he keeps me up till three
|
With his ukulele and a funny melody.
|
|
Crazy words, crazy tune
|
All that you'll ever hear him croon
|
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe. Vo-doe doe.
|
Sits around, all night long
|
Sings the same words to every song
|
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
|
|
His ukulele, daily how he'll strum!
|
Bum bum bum! Vampin' and stampin'
|
Then he hollers, "Black bottom!"
|
Crazy words, crazy tune
|
He'll be driving me crazy soon
|
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
|
|
I have begged that guy to stop
|
I have even called a cop
|
Told my dog "Go sic him", but the durn dog wouldn't go.
|
But tonight will be the end
|
Yes siree, 'cause I intend
|
To go up and kick him in the vo doe doe de oh doe.
|
|
He's got to stop it, stop it, yes he must,
|
Or I'll just kill him, I'll kill him
|
Then I'll do the black bottom.
|
When I'm jailed, upon my need,
|
To the jury and the judge I'll plead
|
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o doe.
|
|
Now the minuet, quiet bliss,
|
Calm and peaceful, it went like this:
|
Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.
|
The Polka too was a treat
|
Your partner said if you tread on his feet
|
Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.
|
|
The gliding Foxtrot we've got
|
And the blues, if you choose
|
We've got the Charleston
|
And we'll soon have Black Bottom
|
Our vicar said, "Ah, me,
|
Friends, our hymn for tonight will be
|
Vo doe de o doe doe doe de o doe.
|
|
It's a rage, it's a craze
|
Everybody sings now-a-days
|
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de oh doe. Vo doe doe.
|
Every goof, every sheik,
|
Tunes his uke and begins to shriek,
|
Vo doe de oh, vo doe doe de o doe.
|
|
Go on the east side, the west side,
|
Here or there, everywhere,
|
They vo doe, vo doe doe,
|
Then they holler, "Black bottom!"
|
Young or old, old or young
|
The guy that started it should be hung
|
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
