Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas

Louis Armstrong

4

Now, I know all, you all don't know who I is

Because I just got here today

My hometown is a little town

Way down Dixie way

Now, everybody down there from miles around

All calls me by my name

Now that up here

In your big city

I sure wish you'd all do the same

Because I'm a ding dong daddy from Dumas

And you oughtta see me do my stuff

Why, I'm a clean cut fella

From Horner's Corner

Ooh, you oughtta see me strut

I'm a paper cuttin cutie

Got a gal called, Katy

She's a little, heavy lady

And I call her baby

I'm a ding dong daddy from Dumas

And you oughtta see me do my stuff

Yes, a ding dong daddy from Dumas

And you oughtta see me do my stuff

I'm a ping pong papa from Pitchfork Prairie

Oughtta see me strut

I'm a ding dong daddy

Got a whiz bang mama

She's a Bear Creek baby

And a whompus kitty

--Instrumental Break--

Just a ding dong daddy from Dumas

Ooh, you oughtta see me do my stuff

I'm a cornpone popper

And an apple knocker

You oughtta see me strut

I'm a momma lovin' man

And I just left Mary

She's a big blonde baby

From Peanut Prairie

I'm a ding dong daddy from Dumas

And you oughtta see me do my stuff

--Instrumental Break--

Just a rinky dinky daddy from the Dumas

Who you'll see me doin' my stuff

I'm a peach pie papa

From Jackson's Holla

Ah, you oughtta see me strut

I'm a honey drippin' daddy

Got a hard-hearted baby

She's a sheep shakin' Sheba

And hallelujah!

I'm a ding dong daddy from Dumas

And you oughtta see me strut!
