Hoagy Carmichael The Yabba Dabba Doo Song Lyrics

Boy, do we know how to bust Monte Carlo
And they'll never be blue
It's a lot like praying
Just keep on saying,
"Yabba, dabba, dabba, dabba, doo!"

If you think your sweetie's left for Tahiti
We can give you a clue
There's no need for cryin',
Roar like a lion,
"Yabba, dabba, dabba, dabba, doo!"

B-A-D-D-A means bad
D-A-B-B-A means good
Oh, what magic in a word we found
By switching the letters around

So, if someday the bases are loaded,
And they're counting on you,
You just can't strike out
If you'll up and shout,
"Yabba, dabba, dabba...
"Yabba, dabba, dabba... "Yabba, dabba, dabba, dabba, doo!"

B-A-D-D-A means bad
D-A-B-B-A means good
Oh, what magic in a word we found
By switching the letters around

(instrumental interlude)

B-A-D-D-A means bad
D-A-B-B-A means good
Oh, what magic in a word we found
By switching the letters around

So, if someday the bases are loaded,
And they're counting on you,
You just can't strike out
If you'll up and shout,
"Yabba, dabba, dabba...
"Yabba, dabba, dabba...
"Yabba, dabba, dabba, dabba, doo!"

Yabba, dabba, dabba, dabba, doo!
