Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink -a dee, A dink -a doo.
Oh, what a tune for spoon -ing
Everybodies trying to get into the act
Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink a dee, A dink -a doo,
It's got the whole world spoon -ing.
You know I think this guy can be replaced
Es -ki -mo bells up in Ice -land, Are ring -ing,
They've made their own Par -a -dise Land, Sing -ing
Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink -a dee, A dink -a doo,
Simp -ly means Ink -A dink -A dee A dink -a doo.
Ink -A Dink -Doo, now if you take the word itself
What does it mean, well to find out exactly what
Ink -A Dink -Doo means
we'll have to go back to a few years ago
When back in that time there was a young man named
(Cagney) Wait a minute, wise guy.
Keep my name out of this. I don't care what you say,
or what you do or by anybody else, keep my name out of it!
Cause Ink -A Dink -Doo is my property
And if anyboby messes with it, I'll rub them out
You understand that, I'll rub them out.
( ) Well, well well, geee whiz. There's no need in getting excited
about ti fellas because well, well well, gee, we're
all here together and we all want to sing Ink -A Dink -Doo
and we're gonna do that, and well, we'll get the words and
I got the words right here, in fact, if everybody'll sit down
I'll sing a chorus to you right now. That's right
Cagney put away that gun and sit down right there.
Here we go, onesy, twosy
Ink -A Dink -Doo, A dink -a dee, A dink -a doo.
(Durante) You call that a note? This is a note
Ooooooooooh! What a note. It simply means
A dink -a doo, A dink -a dee.
Ah, what a note. If only Umbrea was here to see me
Ha, ha!
