DITTY WAH DITTY 
(Arthur Blake) 
Ry Cooder


There's a great big mystery 
And it sure is worrying me 
It's a ditty wah ditty 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 

I went out and walked around 
Somebody yelled, "Now who's in town ?" 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 

Some little girl 'bout four-feet-four 
Said, "Come on, papa, and gimme some mo'" 
Your ditty wah ditty 
Your ditty wah ditty 
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 

I went to church, put my hat on the seat 
A lady sat on it and said, "Daddy you sho' is sweet" 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 

I said, "Sister, I'll soon be gone 
Just give me that thing that you're sitting on" 
My ditty wah ditty 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 

Then I got put outta the church 
'Cause I talked about ditty wah ditty too much 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
Mister ditty wah ditty 
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
