My Croony Melody 1914

Surely something's wrong with me,
Since I heard a melody,
Melody of mystery,
A tempting refrain
has entered my brain,
No one seems to know a thing
about this melody.

Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Listen, listen, listen
to that wonderful strain,
Listen, listen, listen
while I hum it again,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
It haunts me,
it taunts me,
that tantalizing sound,
follows me around,
My poor brain,
oh what am I going to do,
what am I going to do,
Everywhere I go
I hear it again,
What a refrain
Tiada da, Tiada da,
in the air, everywhere
it simply saddens me
gladdens me
sometimes maddens me,
My croony melody.

Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Listen, listen, listen
to that wonderful strain,
Listen, listen, listen
while I hum it again,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
It haunts me,
it taunts me,
that tantalizing sound,
follows me around,
My poor brain,
oh what am I going to do,
what am I going to do,
Everywhere I go
I hear it again,
What a refrain
Tiada da, Tiada da,
in the air, everywhere
it simply saddens me
gladdens me
sometimes maddens me,
My croony melody.

In the night,
when I'm asleep,
Through my dreams it seems to creep,
Rouses me from slumber deep.
and all through the day,
it's with me to stay,
Still I must admit
I'm wild about this melody.

Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Listen, listen, listen
to that wonderful strain,
Listen, listen, listen
while I hum it again,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
It haunts me,
it taunts me,
that tantalizing sound,
follows me around,
My poor brain,
oh what am I going to do,
what am I going to do,
Everywhere I go
I hear it again,
What a refrain
Tiada da, Tiada da,
in the air, everywhere
it simply saddens me
gladdens me
sometimes maddens me,
My croony melody.

Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Listen, listen, listen
to that wonderful strain,
Listen, listen, listen
while I hum it again,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
Tiada da, Tiada da,
It haunts me,
it taunts me,
that tantalizing sound,
follows me around,
My poor brain,
oh what am I going to do,
what am I going to do,
Everywhere I go
I hear it again,
What a refrain
Tiada da, Tiada da,
in the air, everywhere
it simply saddens me
gladdens me
sometimes maddens me,
My croony melody.
