LA-DI-DUM E A E B E A B E On the 17th of March in La-di-da-di-da, A son was born to Mrs. Da-di-dum. He had two arms, two legs, a mouth, a nose and ears, And the usual La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. They duly christened him La-di-da-di-da. They gave his second name as Da-di-dum; And throughout his life, and he lived for 90 years, He was known as La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Now as he grew up, his La-di-da-di-da Grew quicker than his other Da-di-dum; And when he was 15, everyone remarked On his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. He met a girl in La-di-da-di-da. She was pretty, but a little Da-di-dum. But the reason that he like her best, was she Didn't mind his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Her mother was awfully La-di-da-di-da. Her father was completely Da-di-dum. But she took him home to dinner of Salmon Mayonnaise And a plate of La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Now all went well till La-di-da-di-da. He bent to take a bite of Da-di-dum. He couped his plate and the Salmon Mayonnaise (cow'pt = tipped) Fell upon his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Her mother cried loudly, "La-di-da-di-da!" Her father sort of mumbled, "Da-di-dum." And her mother said, "Dear, you must find a boy, With a smaller La-di-da-di-da-di-dum." But they married in the spring of La-di-da-di-da. They honeymooned in lovely Da-di-dum; But they found they couldnt get in a double bed For his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. So they decided La-di-da-di-da, To use two single beds instead of one. They slept together and they used the other one Just to hold his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. On the 19th of June in La-di-da-di-da, He took ill with an attack of Da-di-dum; So they tied him up in bandages that ended in a bow Round his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. But he died on the morn of La-di-da-di-da, A victim of the dreaded Da-di-dum. They put him in his coffin, but they couldnae shut the lid For his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. So the undertaker, La-di-da-di-da, Decided on a plan for Da-di-dum. He made another coffin, roughly three feet two by one, Just to hold his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum. Now you can read on his tombstone, "La-di-da-di-da, The son of La-di-da-di-dum. Here lies his body, and in the next grave up but one, Lies his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum."
