Well, I hear tell

You’re doin’ well –

Good things have come to you.

I wish I had your happiness,

And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do.

They tell me

You’re runnin’ free –

Your days are never blue.

Well, I wish I had your good-luck charm,

And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do.

I see you goin’ down the street in your big Cadillac –

You got girls in the front – got girls in the back!

Yeah, and way in the back, you got money in a sack;

Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back!

Rit-dit-dit-dit-dit-da-do-der…

Well, I hear tell

You’re doin’ well –

Good things have come to you.

I wish I had your happiness,

And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do.

[Scat singing]

I see you goin’ down the street in your big Cadillac –

You got girls in the front – girls in the back!

Yeah, and way in the back, you got money in a sack;

Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back!

Rit-dit-dit-dit-dit-da-do-der…

Well, I hear tell

You’re doin’ well –

Good things have come to you.

I wish I had your good-luck charm,

And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do.

Da-doop-da-doople-dum!
