DUM DUM DIDDLE
(Benny Andersson / Bjorn Ulvaeus)
ABBA (Sweden)


I can hear how you work
practising hard
playing night and day,
wo-oh and it sounds
better now
yes you improve everytime
you play,wo-oh
but it's bad
you're so sad
and you're only smiling
when you play your violin.

Dum dum diddle
to be your fiddle
to be so near you
and not just hear you
Dum dum diddle
to be your fiddle
I think then maybe
you'd see me baby
you'd be mine
and we be together all the time
wish i was
Dum dum diddle
you're darling fiddle.

But I think
you don't know
that I exist
I'm the quiet kind,wo-oh
from the day
when I first
listened to you
you've been on my mind,wo-oh
you don't care
it's not fair
and your only smiling
when you play your violin.
