The Corries - La-Di-Dum lyrics

LA DE DA DE DUM On the 17th of March in La de da de da A son was born to Mrs Da De Dum He had two arms, two legs, a mouth and ears and eyes And the usual La de da de da de dum. They duly christened him La de da de da And they gave his second name as Da de dum And throughout his life, and he lived for 90 years He was known as La de da de da de dum. Then as he grew up his la de da de da Grew quicker than his other da de dum And when he was fifteen, everyone remarked On his great big La de da de da de dum. He met a girl in La de da de da She was pretty though a little da de dum And the reason that he loved her best was she Didnae mind his La de da de da de dum. Her mother was awfully la de da de da Her father was completely da de dum And they sat down to dinner of salmon mayonnaise And a bowl of La de da de da de dum Now it all went well till La de da de da He went to take a bite of da de dum He coped his plate and the salmon mayonnaise Fell upon his la de da de dum. Her mother cried loudly la de da de da Her father sorta mumbled da de dum And her mother said, "Dear you must try to find a boy With a smaller la de da de da de dum" But they married in the spring of la de da de da They honeymooned in lovely la de dum But they found they couldnae get in the double bed For his great big la de da de da de dum And so they decided la de da de da To use two single beds for da de dum They slept together and they used the other one Just to rest his la de da de da de dum On the 19th of June in la de da de da He took ill with an attack of da de dum So they wrapped him up in bandages That ended with a ball roond his la de da de dum He died on the morning of la de da de da A victim of the dreaded da de dum They put him in his coffin but they couldnae shut the lid For his great big la de da de dum Now the undertaker la de da de da Decided on a plan for da de dum He made another coffin roughly 3 x 2 x 1 Just to take his la de da de da de dum. Now you can read on his tombstone la de da de da The son of la de da de dum Here lies his body and in the next grave up but one Lies his great big la de da de da de dum.
