Lyrics Ry Cooder – Ditty Wah Ditty

There’s a great big mystery
And it sure is worrying me
It’s a ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty

I went out and walked around
Somebody yelled, «Now who’s in town?»
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Some little girl ’bout four-feet-four
Said, «Come on, papa, and gimme some mo'»
Your ditty wah ditty
Your ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went to church, put my hat on the seat
A lady sat on it and said, «Daddy you sho’ is sweet»
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I said, «Sister, I’ll soon be gone
Just give me that thing that you’re sitting on»
My ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Then I got put outta the church
‘Cause I talked about ditty wah ditty too much
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
