Crazy Words, Crazy Tunes (Encore) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

There’s a guy I’d like to kill

If he doesn’t stop I will

He’s got a ukulele, and a voice that’s loud and shrill.

'Cause he lives next door to me

And he keeps me up till three

With his ukulele and a funny melody.

Crazy words, crazy tune

All that you’ll ever hear him croon

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.

Vo-doe doe.

Sits around, all night long

Sings the same words to every song

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.

His ukulele, daily how he’ll strum!

Bum bum bum!

Vampin' and stampin'

Then he hollers, «Black bottom!»

Crazy words, crazy tune

He’ll be driving me crazy soon

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.

I have begged that guy to stop

I have even called a cop

Told my dog «Go sic him», but the durn dog wouldn’t go.

But tonight will be the end

Yes siree, 'cause I intend

To go up and kick him in the vo doe doe de oh doe.

He’s got to stop it, stop it, yes he must,

Or I’ll just kill him, I’ll kill him

Then I’ll do the black bottom.

When I’m jailed, upon my need,

To the jury and the judge I’ll plead

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o doe.

Now the minuet, quiet bliss,

Calm and peaceful, it went like this:

Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.

The Polka too was a treat

Your partner said if you tread on his feet

Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.

The gliding Foxtrot we’ve got

And the blues, if you choose

We’ve got the Charleston

And we’ll soon have Black Bottom

Our vicar said, «Ah, me,

Friends, our hymn for tonight will be

Vo doe de o doe doe doe de o doe.

It’s a rage, it’s a craze

Everybody sings now-a-days

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de oh doe.

Vo doe doe.

Every goof, every sheik,

Tunes his uke and begins to shriek,

Vo doe de oh, vo doe doe de o doe.

Go on the east side, the west side,

Here or there, everywhere,

They vo doe, vo doe doe,

Then they holler, «Black bottom!»

Young or old, old or young

The guy that started it should be hung

Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
