I'm A Ding Dong Daddy
Louis Armstrong & His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra Lyrics

I reckon you all don't know me at all
I'm not well-known here.

I just got here today
I arrived here recently.

My home is way down in a little town
My home is in a smaller town, far from here.

It's not so far away
It's not extremely distant, but it's not close.

Everybody for miles around calls me by my name
I'm very popular and well-known there.

Now that I am in your fair town, you must do the same
Since I'm here now, I expect to be addressed with the same familiarity.

For I'm a Ding dong daddy from Dumas
I'm a confident and proud person from the town of Dumas.

You ought to see me do my stuff
You should observe me showing my swagger.

I'm a clean cut fellow from Horner's Corner
I'm a fashionable man from Horner's Corner with good grooming habits.

You ought to see me strut
You should witness me strutting confidently.

I'm a caper cuttin' cutie
I'm a charming and entertaining man.

Got a gal called Katie
I have a companion named Katie.

She's a little heavy laden but I call her 'Baby'
My partner, despite being overweight, is endearingly called Baby.

I'm a ping pong papa from Pitch Fork Prairie
I'm a ping pong expert from Pitch Fork Prairie.

I'm a ding dong daddy, got a whiz bang momma
I'm a proud and entertaining man, with a flashy partner.

She's a Bear Creek baby and a wampus kitty
My partner has come from Bear Creek, and she's very dynamic and fun-loving.

I'm a popcorn popper and a big apple knocker
I'm a showman who can do numerous intriguing things.

I'm a mamma makin' man, and I just made Mary
I'm skilled at seducing women, and I recently seduced Mary.

She's a big blonde baby from Peanut Prairie
Mary is a large and fair-haired individual from Peanut Prairie.

I'm a peach-pie papa from Jackson's Hollow
I'm an excellent cook of peach pies from Jackson's Hollow.

I'm a honey dippin' daddy, got a hard-hearted baby
I'm a sweet and charming man, but my partner is distant and unfeeling.

She's a sheik shakin' Sheba but she can't shake me
My partner is an expert in seduction, but she can't bewitch me.

I'm a jug jugglin' Jasper from Flat Fork Flats
I'm a skilled jug juggler, and I come from Flat Fork Flats.

I'm a corn huskin' huskie, got a gal called Cleta
I'm a proficient corn husker with a girlfriend named Cleta.

She's a flip flop flapper but her brains are in her feet
My partner is somewhat scatterbrained, with her mind frequently wandering.

I'm a cider sipper from Corn Cob Center
I'm a connoisseur of ciders from Corn Cob Center.

I'm a high-powered papa, got a gal called Susie
I'm an influential and important man with a companion named Susie.

She's a fast-movin' mamma but she can't love me
Susie is a speedy and busy woman, but she doesn't have romantic feelings for me.
