Billy McCoy was a boy
who could play, you bet
Oh, how they swayed when
he played on his old cornet
He's got a smile and a
cute little style that's all his own
He'd "Mute" his old cornet
and then he'd make it moan

Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
Nothing to it but it's sweet
That tune goes right to your feet
He made a hit when he played for the girls
They got their hair bobbed
and gave him the curls
Oh! how he blew that
Doo wacka Doo wacka Doo

Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
Nothing to it but it's sweet
That tune goes right to your feet
He made a hit when he played for the girls
They got their hair bobbed
and gave him the curls
Oh! how he blew that
Doo wacka Doo wacka Doo

He took a trip on a ship to a foreign land
He got a job with a mob in a Zuzu Band
Bill got a hunch and he said to the bunch
"Here's something new"
Just hold your hands like this
And sing Doo wacka doo

Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
That tune went right to their feet
Made them shake their shredded wheat
He took his meals with the chief of the troupe
They took the meat and the rest got the soup
Oh! how he blew that doo wacka doo wacka doo

Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
Doo wacka doo wacka doo wacka doo
That tune went right to their feet
Made them shake their shredded wheat
He took his meals with the chief of the troupe
They took the meat and the rest got the soup
Oh! how he blew that doo wacka doo wacka doo
