Verse:

What is that haunt -ing re -frain that you hear in the air?

Here and there, ev -'ry where,

It's just a beau -ti -ful strain that keeps taunt -ing my brain con -stant -ly,

It's my mel -o -dy it's my sy -pho -ny.

 

Chorus:

Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink -a dee, A dink -a doo,

Oh, what a tune for croon -ing.

Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink a dee, A dink -a doo,

It's got the whole world spoon -ing.

Es -ki -mo bells up in Ice -land, Are ring -ing,

They've made their own Par -a -dise Land, Sing -ing,

Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink -a dee, A dink -a doo,

Simp -ly means Ink -A dink -A dee A dink -a doo.
