Ooh-Wakka-Doo-Wakka-Day lyrics

I want to tell you

I might as well do

About a girl I met back in May

Her name is Rita

And you should see her

When she goes "Ooh-wakka-doo-wakka-day"

She's got a brother

Like any other

Who got his nose caught inside a gate

And when they freed him

It so relieved him

He just went "Ooh-wakka-doo-wakka-day"

You wouldn't think to look at me

That I was strong

But underneath it all, I really am

And just to prove it, why

Only the other day

I picked a needle up with one hand

Now, up in Bradford

A chap named Radford

While taking part in a local play

Was intercepted

And then suspected

Of going "Ooh-wakka-doo-wakka-day"

Who's that lady I saw you with?

It was not your wife

It looked to me suspiciously

Like someone I had never seen before in my life

It's not surprising when

You come to think of it

Just what it is that makes people swear

You only have to sing

The wrong bleepin' thing

And there'll be bleeping ev'ry-bleeping-where

Now, if you love me

You're not above me

And if you don't, well

What can I say?

Except we'll see when

You come to tea then

You can go "Ooh-wakka-doo-wakka

Ooh-wakka-doo-wakka

Ooh-wakka-doo-wakka-day"
