Nat Gonella and his Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Dipsy Doodle's gonna get in your head
And if it gets you, it couldn't be worse
The things you say will all come out in reverse
Don't go up the mind
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works
The Dipsy Doodle is so easy to find
You never know it's there until it's too late
And then you'll get in such a terrible state
The moon jumped over the cow, hey diddle
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works
When you think you're crazy
You're the victim of the Dipsy Doodle
But it's not your mind that's hazy
It's your tongue that's at fault, not your noodle
Oh, oh, you better listen here and try to be good
And make yourself to all the things that you should
Oh, Dipsy Doodle's gonna get you one day
You'll think you're crazy when you hear yourself say
Bullets get your gun, Johnny get your gun
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works
Dipsdoodlin' Dipsy won't plan us be free
So now we better take it to another key
Oh, Dipsy, Dipsy Doodle is the thing to beware
And it's gonna get in your head
The things you do will be all wrong
And when you wanna speak, you'll be singing a song
That is just the way the Dipsy Doodle works
Oh, Dipsy, Dipsy, Dipsy
We never know what's coming next
