Verse:

You've heard all about your raggy melody, Ev'rything from op'ra 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?

 

Chorus:

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.
