Deedle de dum is the song that I hum And the tune keeps ringing! Deedle de dum is the song that I hum And the world keeps singing! Joy in my soul as I merrily roll on my way! Deedle de dum is beginning to come from the early birdies! Deedle de dum is the melody heard on the hurdy-gurdies! Fun to be had if you join in this glad round the lane Spring is in the air I haven't got a care Hi ho, lackaday! What a thrill to share with people everywhere My song, in a friendly way I started alone but the melody's grown To a full size chorus Deedle de deedle de, deedle de dum And the world is for us! Life is complete and delightfully sweet while I hum Deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle de dum! Yes, the melody's grown to a full size chorus Deedle de de, deedle de dum and the world is for us! Life is complete and delightfully sweet while I hum Deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle de! Deedle doo doody deedle doo doo deedle de lee ooh de De lo de, de loo ooh de, de lee ooh de doo doo doodle doodle de!
