Gimme Dat Ding – Albert Hammond & Lee Hazelwood

That's right, that's right, I'm sad and blue,
Because I can't do the boogaloo.
I'm lost, I'm lost, can't do my thing,
And that's why I sing the gimme, gimme dat ding, ah...

(Am)Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat,
(D7)Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat,
(G7)Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat,
(F)Gimme, gimme, (G7)gimme dat (C)ding. (Ah, sing it one more time, mama!)

Ah, (Am)what good's a metronome, without a bell for ringing?
(You're right, you're right, it's no use, no)
(D7)How fast can anybody ever tell he (G7)swingin'? (Ah, you can't tell)
(Am)How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
(When you don't go too far, that´s what you do)
(D7)How can you ever hope to know just where you (G)are? (Well, yeah look around you, and…)
