Right On My Doo-Dah 1900 JPitt-Payne

When I was a kid
at school, oh lor,
bless my little gums
couldn't do my sums
then my blooming master
used to roar:
"Little Teddy Green walk out!"
Then I used to feel
so awful queer
all round here,
oh dear, dear!
As he grabbed me
by the breeches
I did yell!
for his thick cane
it always fell:

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
For he picked me up
with the greatest ease
and he gently said:
"Hold your hand out please!"
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
For he picked me up
with the greatest ease
and he gently said:
"Hold your hand out please!"
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

I was taken
for a mug one day,
swop my bob its right,
fancied I could fight,
I put on the boxing gloves all gay
with a ten stone champion.
"Hit him in the wind bag,"
my wife said,
"Go it Ted!"
mind your head!
Then the scrapper
raised his dook
and took his aim
and I saw fireworks as it came:

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
I began to shake
like an aspen leaf
for he had a fist
like a haitchbone of beef
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
I began to shake
like an aspen leaf
for he had a fist
like a haitchbone of beef
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

Talk about the seaside
I have spent
all my holidays
at a game that pays,
going out a hopping
with the kids in Kent,
but I never shall forget
sleeping in a barn
one moonlight night
strike a light,
straight it's right!
There was something buzzing
underneath the clothes
and soon I felt
some Mosquitoes:

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
The wife said: "lumme,
I have got it, Joe!"
She picked up the chopper
and she gave one blow
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

Right on my DooDah

for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

Once my blooming house
it caught on fire
while I was in bed
I went off my head!
Ran upstairs to save
Old Aunt Maria,
in my little short night shirt.
I stood on the roof
all black with smoke
'twas no joke
fit to choke
as I got upon the fire escape,
lor knows!
One of the firemen
turned his hose

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
for the tale of my shirt
it was all a light
so I slipped down the fire escape
in my fright;
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!

Right on my DooDah
Right on my DooDahDay!
for the tale of my shirt
it was all a light
so I slipped down the fire escape
in my fright;
"Oh lor a mussy,"
was all that I could say
for it came down smack
with a whack whack whack
right on my DooDahDay!
