The Dum Dum Ditty

(album: Shangri-Las - 65! - 1965)

He doesn't talk much
But when he does he saying something
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty)
He lives in the slums
'Cause his folks never had nothing
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty)

(He's a rebel without a cause)
(He doesn't do what everyone does)
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom)

I see him every day
Hanging 'round the neighborhood
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty)
They say stay away, don't talk to him
'Cause he is no good
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty)

(He's a rebel without a cause)
(He doesn't do what everyone does)
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom)

(How did he ever get in so much trouble?)
(Sha-da da-da, sha da da-da da-da)
(Why do the papers always mention his name?)
(Sha-da da-da, sha da da-da da-da)

(He's a rebel without a cause)
(He doesn't do what everyone does)
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom)

Oh-ah, yes (He makes my heart go run-run ditty)
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es (He makes my heart go run-run ditty)
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es (Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom)

Oh-ah, yes (He makes my heart go run-run ditty)
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es (He makes my heart go run-run ditty)
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es (Makes my heart go run-run ditty...)
