Do de o Do Songtext
von George Formby

In modern music some clever guy
Has started a brand new craze
A fella must put do-de-oh-do
Into all he sings or plays
Now some may think this foolish
But I′m not one of those
For I attach importance to
Those do-de-oh-do-de-oh-do

Now you can't be rich, you′re poor instead
Without the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do
You can't make cakes and you can't make bread
Without the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do
You need it in your music
As any child will know
The re mi fa so la′s all right
But what about the do-de-oh-do?


Now we take these champion boxers
There′s a lot that we all know
Who fall on the ground in the second round
To get the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do
To get the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do

Be rich, you're poor instead
Without the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do
You can′t make cakes and you can't make bread
Without the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do
You even need it in your music
As any little child will know
The re mi fa so la′s all right
But what about the do-de-oh-do?

Now suppose you're keeping rabbits
You′ve a buck, well maybe so
How can he raise a family
Without the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do?
Without the do-de-oh-de-oh-de-oh-do
