Lyrics
Doo Dah Dilemmas
[Verse]
Doo, dah, doo—what a curious sound,
Like a saxophone sneezin' when no one's around.
It wiggles and jiggles, it tickles the ear,
A melody mischievous, yet perfectly clear.
[Prechorus]
Oh, it’s nonsense, I know,
But it’s stealing the show.
[Chorus]
Doo, dah, doo doo doo,
It’s a riddle wrapped in blue.
Dah dah dah, it’s so absurd,
A jazzy joke without a word!
[Verse 2]
Like a bee in a bow tie, it’s buzzing with flair,
A nonsensical ditty that dances on air.
It pirouettes lightly, it skips, then it hums,
With pizzicato strings and those timpani drums.
[Bridge]
Oh, dah-dah, doo-doo, a tangle of tones,
Like a crossword for ears, with no need for phones.
It teases, it pleases, it lingers, then flies,
A laugh in a lyric, a wink in disguise.
[Chorus]
Doo, dah, doo doo doo,
It’s a riddle wrapped in blue.
Dah dah dah, it’s so absurd,
A jazzy joke without a word!
