In modern music some clever guy has started a brand new craze

A fellow must put Do De O Do into all he sings or plays

Now some may think this foolish but I'm not one of those

For I attach importance to those Do De O Do, Do De O Do's

Now you can't be rich you're poor instead

Without the Do De O, Do De O Do



You can't make cakes and you can't make bread

Without the Do De O, Do De O Do

You need it in your music, as any child will know

The La, Me, Fah. So, La's alright but what about the Do De O Do

Now we take these champion boxers, there's a lot that we all know

Who fall on the ground in the second round to get the Do De O De O De O Do

To get the Do De O De O De O Do



Now you can't be rich you're poor instead

Without the Do De O, Do De O, Do

You can't make cakes and you can't make bread

Without the Do De O, Do De O, Do

You even need it in your music, as any little child will know

The La, Me, Fah. So, La's alright but what about the Do De O Do

Now suppose your keeping rabbits, you've a buck well may be so

How can he raise a family without the Do De O De O De O Do

Without the Do De O De O De O Do
