1. I want to tell you, I might as well do,
D G
about
a girl I met back in May.
G Am
Her name is Rita and you
should see her,
D G
when
she goes “ooh, wakka doo, wakka
day”.
G Am
2. She's got a brother like any other,
D G
who
got his nose caught inside a gate,
G Am
and
when they freed him, it so relieved him,
D G
he
just went “ooh wakka doo wakka
day”.
Bm
Em
You wouldn't think to look at
me that I was strong,
Am D
but
underneath it all I really am,
G Em
and
just to prove it, why, only the other day,
F C - D - C - D
I picked a needle up with one
hand.
G Am
3. Now up in
D G
while
taking part in a local play,
G Am
was
intercepted and then suspected
D D#
of
going “ooh wakka doo wakka day-ay-ay-ay”.
G Cm F Bb
+ Who's that lady I saw
you with ? It was not your wife,
G Cm
it
looked to me suspiciously
D#
D D7
like
someone I have never seen before in my life.
G
- Am - D - G
+ Do-do-do... (2x)
Bm Em
+ It's not surprising
when you come to think of it,
Am
D
just
what it is that makes people swear.
G Em
You only have to sing about a bleepin' thing,
F C
- D - C - D
and
there'll be bleeping ev'ry bleeping where.
G Am
4. Now if you love me, you're not above me,
D G
but
if you don't, well, what can I say,
G Am
except
we'll see, when you come to tea, then
D
you
can go ”ooh wakka doo wakka,
D# Am D Cm - G
ooh wakka doo wakka, ooh wakka doo wakka day”.
