- Verse:
- Billy McCoy was a boy who
could play, you bet,
Oh, How they swayed when he played on his old cornet,
He's got a smile and a cute little style that's all his own.
- He'd "Mute" his
old cornet and then he'd make it moan.
-
- He took a trip on a ship
to a foreign land,
- He got a job with a mob
in a Zuzu Band.
- Bill got a hunch and he
said to the bunch "Here's something new,"
- Just hold your hands like
this, and sing Doo Wacka Doo.
-
- Chorus:
- Doo Wacka Doo, wacka doo,
wacka doo, Doo Wacka Doo, wacka doo, wacka doo.
Nothing to it but it's sweet, That tune goes right to your
feet.
He made a hit when he played for the girls, They got their
hair bobbed and gave him the curls.
Oh! how he blew, That Doo Wacka Doo Wacka Doo.
-
- Doo Wacka Doo, wacka doo,
wacka doo, Doo Wacka Doo, wacka doo, wacka doo.
- That tune went right to
their feet, Made them shake their Shredded Wheat.
- He took is meals with the
chief of the troup, They got the meat and the rest got
the soup.
- Oh! how he blew, That
Doo Wacka Doo Wacka Doo.
