Fiddle-Dee-Dee 1912

Fiddler Joe from Kokomo,
took lessons on the piccolo;
after seven years or so,
he could play a violin.
Beneath his whiskered chin
he'd tuck his violin,
and when you least expected,
Fiddler Joseph would begin:

On his Fidfidfidfidfidfidfiddledeedee!
He played a melody
as plain as plain could be.
Now he might have played that tune
on a harp or a bassoon,
but he played it on his fidfidfiddledeedee

On his Fidfidfidfidfidfidfiddledeedee!
He played a melody
as plain as plain could be.
Now he might have played that tune
on a harp or a bassoon,
but he played it on his fidfidfiddledeedee

Joe and Jim like two big fools
went out one night to steal some jewels;
Joseph had no burglar tools,
he brought his violin.
So Joseph said to Jim:
"This is the house go in,
go in and I'll accomp'ny you
upon my violin:

On his Fidfidfidfidfidfidfiddledeedee!
He played a melody
as plain as plain could be.
Now he might have played that tune
on a harp or a bassoon,
but he played it on his fidfidfiddledeedee

On his Fidfidfidfidfidfidfiddledeedee!
He played a melody
as plain as plain could be.
Now he might have played that tune
on a harp or a bassoon,
but he played it on his fidfidfiddledeedee!
