(Arthur Blake) 



There's a great big mistery 

And it sure is worrying me 

It's a ditty wah ditty 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 



I went out and walked around 

Somebody yelled, "Now who's in town ?" 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 



Some little girl 'bout four-feet-four 

Said, "Come on, papa, and gimme some mo'" 

Your ditty wah ditty 

Your ditty wah ditty 

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 



I went to church, put my hat on the seat 

A lady sat on it and said, "Daddy you sho' is sweet" 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 



I said, "Sister, I'll soon be gone 

Just give me that thing that you're sitting on" 

My ditty wah ditty 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means 



Then I got put outta the church 

'Cause I talked about ditty wah ditty too much 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

Mister ditty wah ditty 

I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
