Verse:
There's a guy I'd like to kill, If he doesn't stop I will;
Got a ukulele and a voice that's loud and shrill;
'Cause he lives next door to me, And he keeps me up till three;
With his ukulele and a funny melody.
 
Chorus:
Crazy Words, Crazy Tune, All that you'll ever hear him croon.
Vododeo Vodododeodo Vododo.
Sits around all night long, Sings the same words to evry' song.
Vododeo Vodododeodo.
His ukulele daily, How he'll strum, Vum Vum Vum!
Vampin' and stampin', Then he hollers "black bottom!"
Crazy Words, Crazy Tune. He'll be driving me crazy soon:
Vododeo Vodododeodo
