Lyrics
Chorus
Crazy words, Crazy tune
All that you’ll ever hear him croon
Vo-do-de-o Vo-do-do-de-o-do Vo-do-do
Sits around all night long
Sings the same words to ev’ry song
Vo-do-de-o Vo-do-do-de-o-do
His ukulele daily
How he’ll strum Vum Vum Vum
Vampin’ and stampin’
Then he hollers “black bottom”
Crazy words, Crazy tune
He’ll be driving me crazy soon
Vo-do-de-o Vo-do-do-de-o-do
Chorus
N’poleon march’d his men
Turn’d around and he said to them
Vo-do-de-o Vo-do-do-de-o-do Vo-do-do
Washington, Valley Forge
Gee, ’twas cold there but up spoke George
Vo-do-de-o Vo-do-do-de-o-do
Remember Patrick Henry
In that speech, Famous speech
Cried: “Give me! give me
Liberty or black bottom
You all heard yesterday
What did President Coolidge say?
Vo-do-de-o Vo-do-do-de-o-do
