That Da-Da Strain 1922

Have you heard it,
have you heard it,
that new dada strain?
It will shake you
it will make you
really go insane.
Ev'rybody's full of pep
makes you watch your ev'ry step
ev'ry dancer and each prancer
starts to lay 'em down
when that music starts to play
it makes you buzz aroun'
and I go crazy as a loon,
when ev'rybody hums the tune:

Dadadada, Dadadada,
It's so appealing,
starts me reeling
like I'm sailing
upon the bounding main.
When ev'rybody starts to
Dadadada, Dadadada,
I wanna do it once again,
I'm simply wild about that
Dadadada, strain.

Dadadada, Dadadada,
It's so appealing,
starts me reeling
like I'm sailing
upon the bounding main.
When ev'rybody starts to
Dadadada, Dadadada,
I wanna do it once again,
I'm simply wild about that
Dadadada, strain.

Dada, Dada
Dada, Dada
is a freaky strain,
not much wording
just the writing of a loony brain.
But it's such a pleasing trot,
cures all kinds of blues you've got;
it's so snappy,
makes you happy,
and it's harmony
ain't no corker,
but it's full of
'riginality
you can't resist its melody
for you are surely bound to say:

Dadadada, Dadadada,
It's so appealing,
starts me reeling
like I'm sailing
upon the bounding main.
When ev'rybody starts to
Dadadada, Dadadada,
I wanna do it once again,
I'm simply wild about that
Dadadada, strain.

Dadadada, Dadadada,
It's so appealing,
starts me reeling
like I'm sailing
upon the bounding main.
When ev'rybody starts to
Dadadada, Dadadada,
I wanna do it once again,
I'm simply wild about that
Dadadada, strain.
