Diddle-Umma Day

Chas Hodges, Dave Peacock

[Verse 1]
Now here's a little tale, that I've got for you
About something that happened to me a couple of months ago
Now let me tell you all about it, now I don't wanna bore you
Well what's it all about, well it all started out
'Cause I turned on the radio
Well it's all about a tune, that I heard one morning
It was a record some DJ played as I laid in bed
I didn't hear what he said, as I laid there yawning
But before too long
That catchy little song was a-going round and round my head
And it went

[Chorus]
Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly bumma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-bumma di-do, whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma
Diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum biddly-bo, di-dum a di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddly bumma-day

[Verse 2]
Well I jumped out of bed, pulled on my trousers
With the tune on my mind all the time going round my head
Jumped in my car, drove round and round the houses
'Till I found a record shop
So I stopped at the shop, parked up, popped in, and said
"Have you heard this song?" I asked the girl behind the counter
I can hum a line or two, that's all I can do now miss
I don't know what's it called, but I bet you're 'bound ta
It must be a hit, but the only little bit I know of it goes like this
And it goes

[Chorus]
Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly bumma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-bumma di-do, whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma
Diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum biddly-bo, di-dum a di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day

[Verse 3]
Well the girl couldn't help, she needed more information
So I rung up the DJ, but he said the same
So I asked the bloke next door, and all of my relations
But they couldn't help at all
Nobody could recall this tune going around my brain
To cut a long story short, they all said they hadn't heard of it
Everybody I asked never knew what I was talking about
And it's driving me barmy, I can't think of a word of it
The only bit I know, I'll sing before I go
Perhaps you could help me out
And it goes

[Chorus]
Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly bumma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-bumma di-do, whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma
Diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma
Diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum biddly-bo, di-dum a di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day

[Chorus]
And it goes
Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly bumma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-bumma di-do, whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma
Diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum biddly-bo, di-dum a di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddle bumma-day
