Album: 100 Hits of the 70's

That's right, that's right I'm sad and blue
'Cause I can't do the Boogaloo
I'm lost, I'm lost, can't do my thing
That's why I sing gimme, gimme dat ding

[Chorus]
Ah, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
("Aaaah, sing it one more time, Mama")

[Repeat Chorus]

("Ah, you ain't doin' that late at night")
Ah, what good's a metronome without a bell for ringing
("You're right, you're right, it's no use")
How fast can anybody ever tell he's swinging ("No, you can't tell")
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar
("Well, you don't go too far is what you do")
How can you ever hope to know just where you are
("Why don't you look around ya")
And gimme dat ("Ah, gimme dat")
Gimme dat ("Ah, gimme dat")
Gimme, gimme, yeah, got ya

[Chorus - 2x]

Ah, what goods a metronome without a bell for ringing
("Well, you try and do your best")
How fast can anybody ever tell he's swinging
How can you tell the rhythm written on the bar ("Well, you see")
How can you ever hope to know just where you are
Gimme dat, ah gimme dat, ah gimme dat, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

[Chorus]

("That's right")
