LA DE DA DE DUM

On the 17th of March in La de da de da

A son was born to Mrs La De Dum

He had two arms, two legs, a mouth and nose and ears

And the usual La de da de da de dum.

He was duly christened La de da de da

And they gave his second name as La de dum

And through his life, and he lived for 90 years

He was known as La de da de da de dum.

Then as he grew up his la de da de dum

Grew quicker than his other la de dum

And when he was fifteen, everyone remarked

On his great big La de da de da de dum.

Then he met a girl in La de da de da

She was pretty but a little la de dum

But the reason that he loved her most of all

Was that she didn't mind his La de da de da de dum.

Her mother was awfully la de da de da

Her father was completely la de dum

And they all sat down that night to salmon mayonnaise

And a bowl of La de da de da de dum

And all went well till La de da de da

Got up to take a bite of la de dum

He tripped and fell into the salmon mayonnaise

And it fell upon his la de da de dum.

Her mother cried loudly la de da de da

Her father kinda mumbled la de dum

And her mother said, "Dear you must try to find a boy

With a smaller la de da de da de dum"

They were married in the spring of la de da de da

And they honeymooned in sunny la de dum

But they found they couldn't get in the double bed

For his great big la de da de da de dum

So newly married la de da de da

Decided on a plan for la de dum

So they slept together and they used another bed

Just to rest his la de da de da de dum

He died in the winter of la de da de da

A victim of the dreaded la de dum... la de dum

But the undertaker couldn't shut the lid

For the great big la de da de da de dum.

So the undertaker of la de da de da

Decided on a plan for la de dum

So he built another coffin roughly 3 x 2 x 1

Just to take his la de da de da de dum.

Now you can read upon his tombstone la de da de da

The son of la de da de dum

Here lies his body and the in the next grave up but one

Lies great big la de da de da de dum.
