Alma Cogan - Ja Da lyrics

You’ve heard all about your raggy melodies
Everything from opera down to harmony
But I’ve a little song that I will sing to you
It’s going to win you through and through
There ain’t much to the words, but the music is grand
And you’ll be singing it to beat the band
Now you’ve heard of your 'Will O' The Wisp'
But give a little listen to this
It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
That’s a funny little bit of melody
It’s so soothing and appealing to me It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
(Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing)
(Kinda got you going, hey Billy?)
(It certainly has, I’m humming it all the time)
(It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing)
Now everyone was singing a Hawaiian strain
Everyone seemed to have it on their brain
When Yaka Hicky Hoola do was all the craze
Why that’s the one that had 'em dazed
The object now is for something new
Something that will appeal to you
And here’s a little melody that you will find
Will linger, linger there on your mind
It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
That’s a funny little bit of melody
It’s so soothing and appealing to me It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
Now everybody
Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
That’s a funny little bit of melody
It’s so soothing and appealing to me It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
Ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
That’s a funny little bit of melody
It’s so soothing and appealing to me It goes ja da, ja da, ja da ja da, jing jing jing
