Cha-La Cha-La

“Chickery Chick Cha-la Cha-la” Was a happy little ditty From days gone by, my how time flies Those words were warm and witty “Lamsey dotes and dosey doats” Brings back those days of yore When life was fun in the morning sun And you couldn't ask for more “Skimmery rinky dinky dink” Is another masterpiece Jimmy Durante sang the words To this clever little treat “Abba dabba dabba dabba” A chimp was heard to say I still remember Debbie singing In a most delightful way So when you're down and things ain't right Just whistle these happy tunes You'll soon perk up you'll smile and say “Life is a big cartoon” ©Jack Ellison 2012
