Doodle-Doo-Doo Medley: Tschaikowsky (From Lady in the Dark) - Mandy Patinkin

Or the slightest provocation

May I fondly introduce

For your mental delectation

The names that always give me

Brain concussion

The names of those composers

Please play for me

That sweet melody

Called doodle doo-doo

I like the rest

But what I like best

Is doodle doo-doo

Simplest thing

There’s nothing much to it

You don’t have to sing

You just doodle doo-doo it

I love it so

Wherever I go

I doodle doo doodie doo-doo
