Lyrics

The Dipsy Doodle's the thing to beware The Dipsy Doodle will get in your hair And if it gets you, it couldn't be worse The things you say will come out in reverse Like "You love I and me love you" That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works The Dipsy Doodle's easy to find It's almost always in the back of your mind You never know it until it's too late And then you're in such a terrible state Like "The moon jumped over the cow, hey diddle" That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works When you think you're crazy You're the victim of the Dipsy Doodle But it's not your mind that's hazy It's your tongue that's at fault, not your noodle Ridi-do, ridi-do, ridi-do-doodle Di-di-di-diosy-doodle Dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-diosy-doodle You think you're crazy to think that you'll say Like "Rhythm got I and hot am I" That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works
