Ry Cooder - DITTY WAH DITTY lyrics

(Arthur Blake)

There's a great big mistery

And it sure is worrying me

It's a ditty wah ditty

Mister ditty wah ditty

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went out and walked around

Somebody yelled, "Now who's in town ?"

Mister ditty wah ditty

Mister ditty wah ditty

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Some little girl 'bout four-feet-four

Said, "Come on, papa, and gimme some mo'"

Your ditty wah ditty

Your ditty wah ditty

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went to church, put my hat on the seat

A lady sat on it and said, "Daddy you sho' is sweet"

Mister ditty wah ditty

Mister ditty wah ditty

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I said, "Sister, I'll soon be gone

Just give me that thing that you're sitting on"

My ditty wah ditty

Mister ditty wah ditty

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Then I got put outta the church

'Cause I talked about ditty wah ditty too much

Mister ditty wah ditty

Mister ditty wah ditty

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
