Ida, sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all I know, a-ho-ho!
Come out 'neath the silvery moonlight,
Of love I'll whisper so soft and low!

Seems though can't live without you,
Listen my honeydew, doody-do!
Ida, kinda idolise ya,
I long to love ya, Ida, 'deed I do!

Ida, sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all I know, a-ho-ho!
Come out 'neath the silvery moonlight,
Of love I'll whisper so soft and low!
Hear me callin', Ida!

Seems though can't live without you,
Listen my honeydew, doody-do!
Ida, kinda idolise ya,
I long to love ya, Ida, 'deed I doodle-do!
