Ja Da - Alma Cogan

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
