Verse 1

YOU'VE HEARD ALL A-BOUT YOUR RAG-GY MEL-O-DIES,
EV--RY THING FROM OPE-RA DOWN TO HAR-MO-NY,
BUT I'VE A LIT-TLE SONG THAT I WILL SING TO YOU,
IT'S GOING TO WIN YOU THRU AND THRU.
THERE AIN'T MUCH TO THE WORDS BUT THE MUS-IC IS GRAND,
AND YOU'LL BE SING-ING IT TO BEAT THE BAND
NOW YOU'VE HEARD OF YOUR "WILL-O'-THE WISP,"
BUT GIVE A LIT-TLE LIS-TEN TO THIS; IT GOES

Verse 2

NOW EV'RY ONE WAS SING-ING A HA-WAI-IAN STRAIN,
EV'RY ONE SEEM'D TO HAVE IT ON THEIR BRAIN,
WHEN YA-KA HICK-EY HOO-LA DO WAS ALL THE CRAZE,
WHY THAT'S THE ONE THAT HAD 'EM DAZED.
THE OB-JECT NOW IS FOR SOME-THING NEW,
SOME-THING THAT WILL AP-PEAL TO YOU.
AND HERE'S A LIT-TLE MEL-O-DY THAT YOU WILL FIND,
WILL LIN-GER, LIN-GER THERE IN YOUR MIND; IT GOES

Chorus

THAT'S A FUN-NY LIT-TLE BIT OF MEL-O-DY,
IT'S SO SOOTH-ING AND AP-PEAL-ING TO ME,
IT GOES
