The dipsy doodle is 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. You can't eat, you can't sleep. You go crazy. You're just a victim of the dipsy doodle And it's not your mind that's hazy It's your heart that's at fault - not your noodle. You better listen and try to be good And try to do all the things that you should The dipsy doodle will get you some day And when it gets you the things you will say Like the moon jumped over the cow - hey diddle! That's the way the dipsy doodle works.
