Skid-dy-mer-rink-adink-aboomp (Means I Love You)
Music by Al. Plantadosi
Words by Felix F. Feist
Down on a Boola Boola Isle;
Where the Mermaids chant;
Reigns Big Chief Crocodile,
Beneath an Oyster Plant.
He loved a Sea nymph selfishly
Queen of the Gay White Wave;
Each night, in his shell he’d go to sea,
And in tuneful scales he’d rave:
Chorus:
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
Means I love you;
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
Means I’ll be true.
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
All the time he sang this rhyme;
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
Means I love you.
But when the Midnight Moon was pale;
King Fish Ko-ko-mo;
Came floating over with his tale,
To say, he loved her so.
But she was true to Crocodile,
Said Ko-ko-Nut, go ‘way;
I know, in a very little while,
You will hear my lover say:
Chorus
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
Means I love you;
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
Means I’ll be true.
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
All the time he sings this rhyme;
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-dink-a-boomp,
Skid-dy-mer-rink-a-doo,
Means I love you.
