Rum Tum Tiddle 1912

Willie Wingle wrote a jingle
on his fiddle de dee,
Dolly Dimple sweet and simple
said oh play it for me;
There's a feeling
comes a stealing
what's that melody say.
It sounds silly,
but go on Willy
I love to hear you
play it, play it.

Rum tum tum tum
tum tum tiddle
was the thing he played
upon his fiddle
that melodious tune
Just seemed to croon
Honey love, honey love, honey love.
'Round my heart
you've raised a riddle
and the answer lies
right in the middle
of this musical strain
Won't you play it again.

Rum tum tum tum
tum tum tiddle
was the thing he played
upon his fiddle
that melodious tune
Just seemed to croon
Honey love, honey love, honey love.
'Round my heart
you've raised a riddle
and the answer lies
right in the middle
of this musical strain
Won't you play it again.

Willie played it
till he made it
such a popular strain
People hummed it
and rum tummed it
Till it drove him insane
Women chased him
and embraced him
He could hear them implore
What's that ditty
that sounds so pretty
Oh play it just
once more, encore it.

Rum tum tum tum
tum tum tiddle
was the thing he played
upon his fiddle
that melodious tune
Just seemed to croon
Honey love, honey love, honey love.
'Round my heart
you've raised a riddle
and the answer lies
right in the middle
of this musical strain
Won't you play it again.

Rum tum tum tum
tum tum tiddle
was the thing he played
upon his fiddle
that melodious tune
Just seemed to croon
Honey love, honey love, honey love.
'Round my heart
you've raised a riddle
and the answer lies
right in the middle
of this musical strain
Won't you play it again.
