La Di Dum

G# C# C# F# On the 17th of March in La-di-da-di-da, C# G# A son was born to Mrs. Da-di-dum. C# F# He had two arms, two legs, a mouth, and ears, and eyes G# C# And the usual La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# They duly christened him La-di-da-di-da. C# G# They gave his second name as Da-di-dum; C# F# And throughout his life, and he lived for 90 years, G# C# He was known as La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# As he grew up, his La-di-da-di-da C# G# Grew quicker than his other Da-di-dum; C# F# And when he was 15, everyone remarked G# C# On his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# He met a girl in La-di-da-di-da. C# G# She was pretty, though a little Da-di-dum. C# F# But the reason that he loved her best, was she G# C# Didnae mind his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# Her mother was awfully La-di-da-di-da. C# G# Her father was completely Da-di-dum. C# F# And they sat him to dinner of Salmon Mayonnaise G# C# And a bowl of La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# Now it all went well till La-di-da-di-da. C# G# He bent to take a bite of Da-di-dum. C# F# He couped his plate and the Salmon Mayonnaise G# C# Fell upon his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# Her mother cried loudly, "La-di-da-di-da!" C# G# Her father sort of mumbled, "Da-di-dum." C# F# And her mother said, "Dear, you must try to find a boy, G# C# With a smaller La-di-da-di-da-di-dum." C# F# But they married in the spring of La-di-da-di-da. C# G# They honeymooned in lovely Da-di-dum; C# F# But they found that they couldnae get in a double bed G# C# For his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# And so they decided La-di-da-di-da, C# G# To use two single beds to Da-di-Dum C# F# They slept together and they used the other one G# C# Just to rest his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. C# F# On the 19th of June in La-di-da-di-da, C# G# He took ill with an attack of Da-di-dum; C# F# So they wrapped him up in bandages that ended in a bow G# C# Round his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Verse 11 C# F# He died on the morning of La-di-da-di-da, C# G# A victim of the dreaded Da-di-dum. C# F# They put him in his coffin, but they couldnae shut the lid G# C# For his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Verse 12 C# F# Now the undertaker, La-di-da-di-da, C# G# Decided on a plan for Da-di-dum. C# F# He made another coffin, roughly three feet two by one, G# C# Just to take his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Verse 13 C# F# Now you can read on his tombstone, "La-di-da-di-da, C# G# The son of La-di-da-di-dum. C# F# Here lies his body, and in the next grave up but one, G# C# Lies his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum."
