Dada Dada 1928

Charlie in the parlour,
Kate upon his knee,
her Dad was in the next room
dozing peacefully,
Kate was shy and bashful,
acted like a dunce,
for she'd not been kissed before,
not even once;
She stammered,
and she stuttered,
she was scared, no doubt,
and ev'ry now and then
you'd hear her shout:

Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
I'm sure there's trouble brbrbrbrewing,
He's got his arm around my waist,
I'm sitting on his knee,
and tho' I've told him
not to do it, he keeps on kissing me
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing

Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
I'm sure there's trouble brbrbrbrewing,
He says I am an angel,
and a Heavnly little thing,
If angels feel like I do oh death,
where is thy sting?
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing

Father in the next room,
smiled and winked his eye,
he thought of he and mother
in the days gone by,
They had no cosy parlour,
or "Pictures" in the dark,
no, they had to sit and shiver in the park;
it made him think of what had happened years ago,
when all at once his daughter shouted: "Oh!"

Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
I'm sure there's trouble brbrbrbrewing,
He's locked the door, turned out the lights,
and I feel such a thrill,
he said that he would
and he could and he should
and I really think he will,
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing

Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
I'm sure there's trouble brbrbrbrewing,
I've smacked his face, I've pulled his hair,
and tried to bite his wrist,
but I think he knows
that soon I'll have
no strength left to resist,
Dada! Dada! dddddddDada
Come and see what Charlie's ddddoing.
