Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie

Nights didn't seem so long no more
Pain wasn't there like it was before
Just when I thought I was really okay
I saw Linda yesterday

My heart went up, down
Like a merry-go-round and 'round
Like a falling star, down, down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Looked like I'd found peace of mind
Looked like I was gonna make it this time
Just when I thought I was really okay
I saw Linda yesterday

Oh, she smiled that same old smile
My heart was runnin' wild
My love for her increases
As I go all to pieces

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dumb

So drink to a lonely guy
Sit around and watch me cry
People ask what's wrong, I say
"I saw Linda yesterday"

My heart went up, down
Like a merry-go-round and 'round
Like a falling star, down, down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dumb
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dum-dumb
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dumb
