Oh Papa-de-da-da, he's a lady's man,
Oh Papa-de-da-da, meet us in the va,
Papa-de-da-da, watch him clap his hands,
He can play his piano grand!


Papa-de-da-da, he's a lady's man,
Papa-de-da-da, always plays the blues.
Neat and keen,
That's what I mean,
Calls all the gals in New Orleans.
Papa de, da, de-da-da,
He's the hottest man in town!


He's nice and tall,
Never small!
Red hot mamas,
He cools them all!
