1918 – Bob Carleton
You’ve heard all about your raggy melodies
Ev’rything from opera down to harmony
But I’ve a little song that I will sing to you
It’s going to win you through and through
There ain’t much to the words, but the music is grand
And you’ll be singing it to beat the band
Now you’ve heard of your “Will O’ The Wisp”
But give a little listen to this
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
That’s a funny little bit of melody
It’s so soothing and appealing to me
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing!
