| Lyrics | Ja-Da Verse: You’ve heard all about your raggy melodies, Ev’ry thing from opera down to harmony, But I’ve a little song that I will sing to you. It’s going to win you thru and thru. There ain’t much to the words but the music is grand, And you’ll be singing it to beat the band. Now you’ve heard of your “Will O’ the Wisp” But give a little listen to this: It goes: Refrain: Ja da, ja da, Ja da ja da Jing, jing, jing. Ja da, ja da, Ja da ja da Jing, jing, jing. That’s a funny little bit of melody. It’s so soothing and appealing to me. It goes ja da ja da, Ja da ja da, Jing, jing, jing. Verse: Now ev’ry one was singing Hawaiian strain, Ev’ry one seem’d to have it on their brain, When Yaka Hicky Hoola Do was all the craze, Why that’s the one that had ‘em dazed, The object now is for something new, Something that will appeal to you. And here’s a little melody that you will find, Will linger, linger there in your mind. It goes: Refrain |
