Lyrics Priscilla Renea – Jonjo
Text:
Jesse had a treehouse in an oak
Dirty magazines and some Coca Cola
Never let me climb that ladder rope
So I learned to spy with my telescope
Hey
I got three times hollered «let me in»
He said «you’re my sister, but you’re not my friend»
«Here’s a password that you’ll never get»
«So if you can say it, you can come on in»
Hey, oh my my my
Hey
But then he grinned
Saying—
Hum-dum-diddly-twee-dum-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-dippidy-doo-dah-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-diddly-twee-dum-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-dippidy-doo-dah-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam
Jonjo
Said it on the bus on the way to school
Said it in my class, playing duck-duck-goose
Said it on the see-saw, swings, and slide
Couldn’t get the password off my mind
Hey, oh my my my
Hey
Mean old brother, knew I had a stutter
I got clever, right down to the letter
And I turned it into a song
And then I grinned
Singing—
Hum-dum-diddly-twee-dum-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-dippidy-doo-dah-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-diddly-twee-dum-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-dippidy-doo-dah-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam
Jonjo
Jesse’s jaw was dropped
His hobo bubble popped
Just when I thought that I’d become the winner
He roped down the rope
And made me out a joke
I ran back to mama in the kitchen cooking dinner
Crying—
Hum-dum-diddly-twee-dum-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-dippidy-doo-dah-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-diddly-twee-dum-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam-jonjo
Hum-dum-dippidy-doo-dah-diddy
Hum-jiminy-jam
Jonjo
Jonjo!
