Lyrics
Let me introduce you to Tra-la-la
For it’s time that you all knew Tra-la-la
It’s a silly strain, it’s true Tra-la-la
But it’s guaranteed to cure ev’ry sort of blues
And you’re going to like it, I am sure, Tra-la-la
Refrain
Just learn this little song, Tra-la-la
Won’t take you very long, Tra-la-la
It has the cutest swing, Tell me Papa
Isn’t it a cunning thing, Tra-la-la-la-la?
Makes ev’rybody’s heart go pit-a-pat
Your troubles will depart, they’ll go like that
Hum it, strum it, sing and drum it
You’ll get worlds of pleasure from it
Tra-la-la-Tra-la-la-la
Performance
