(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
