Do De O Do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In modern music some clever guy has started a brand new craze
A fellow must put Do De O Do into all he sings or plays
Now some may think this foolish but I'm not one of those
For I attach importance to those Do De O Do, Do De O Do's
Now you can't be rich you're poor instead
Without the Do De O, Do De O Do
You can't make cakes and you can't make bread
Without the Do De O, Do De O Do
You need it in your music, as any child will know
The La, Me, Fah. So, La's alright but what about the Do De O Do
Now we take these champion boxers, there's a lot that we all know
Who fall on the ground in the second round to get the Do De O De O De O Do
To get the Do De O De O De O Do
Now you can't be rich you're poor instead
Without the Do De O, Do De O, Do
You can't make cakes and you can't make bread
Without the Do De O, Do De O, Do
You even need it in your music, as any little child will know
The La, Me, Fah. So, La's alright but what about the Do De O Do
Now suppose your keeping rabbits, you've a buck well may be so
How can he raise a family without the Do De O De O De O Do
Without the Do De O De O De O Do
