Ja-da Lyrics - The Hackett Horn - Bobby Hackett & His Orchestra

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
