| There’s a guy I’d like to kill
|
| If he doesn’t stop I will
|
| He’s got a ukulele, and a voice that’s loud and shrill.
|
| 'Cause he lives next door to me
|
| And he keeps me up till three
|
| With his ukulele and a funny melody.
|
| Crazy words, crazy tune
|
| All that you’ll ever hear him croon
|
| Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe. |
| Vo-doe doe.
|
| Sits around, all night long
|
| Sings the same words to every song
|
| Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
|
| His ukulele, daily how he’ll strum!
|
| Bum bum bum! |
| Vampin' and stampin'
|
| Then he hollers, «Black bottom!»
|
| Crazy words, crazy tune
|
| He’ll be driving me crazy soon
|
| Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
|
| I have begged that guy to stop
|
| I have even called a cop
|
| Told my dog «Go sic him», but the durn dog wouldn’t go.
|
| But tonight will be the end
|
| Yes siree, 'cause I intend
|
| To go up and kick him in the vo doe doe de oh doe.
|
| He’s got to stop it, stop it, yes he must,
|
| Or I’ll just kill him, I’ll kill him
|
| Then I’ll do the black bottom.
|
| When I’m jailed, upon my need,
|
| To the jury and the judge I’ll plead
|
| Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o doe.
|
| Now the minuet, quiet bliss,
|
| Calm and peaceful, it went like this:
|
| Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.
|
| The Polka too was a treat
|
| Your partner said if you tread on his feet
|
| Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.
|
| The gliding Foxtrot we’ve got
|
| And the blues, if you choose
|
| We’ve got the Charleston
|
| And we’ll soon have Black Bottom
|
| Our vicar said, «Ah, me,
|
| Friends, our hymn for tonight will be
|
| Vo doe de o doe doe doe de o doe.
|
| It’s a rage, it’s a craze
|
| Everybody sings now-a-days
|
| Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de oh doe. |
| Vo doe doe.
|
| Every goof, every sheik,
|
| Tunes his uke and begins to shriek,
|
| Vo doe de oh, vo doe doe de o doe.
|
| Go on the east side, the west side,
|
| Here or there, everywhere,
|
| They vo doe, vo doe doe,
|
| Then they holler, «Black bottom!»
|
| Young or old, old or young
|
| The guy that started it should be hung
|
| Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe. |
