you’ve heard all about your raggy melody
everything from opera 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 music is grand
and you’ll be asinging it to beat the band
you’ve heard of the tisket and tasket it’s true
but give a little listen to this will you
jada jada jada jada jing jing jing
jada jada jada jada jing jing jing
that’s a funny little bit of melody
it’s so soothing and appealing to me
it goes jada jada jada jada jing jing jing
our bands have been digging back for tunes to be sung
operas and nursery 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 turkey trot or a shimmy one step
but when grandma danced to it she thought she was hep
it still is a ditty i’m sure you will find
will keep arunnin’ ’round and ’round your mind
jada jada jada jada jing jing jing
jada jada jada jada jing jing jing
that’s a funny little bit of melody
it’s so soothing and appealing to me
it goes jada jada jada jada jing jing jing
