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
