The Journeymen - Ja-Da lyrics

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 a-singing 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? 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 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 turkeytrot or a shimmey onestep But when grandma danced to it She thought she was hep It still is a ditty I'm sure you will find Will keep a runnin' 'round and around your mind 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
