Every night I hear my neighbors sighin'
"If you like-a me like I like you,
Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie Kaddie Koo;"
That's just how they make love in Hawaiian,
Ev'ry time she says "I'm feeling blue,"
He says "Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie, Koo."
Many, many nights I've spent
Wond'ring what the darn thing meant,
Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie, Kaddie, Koo,
Still, I don't know what it means, do you?
Please tell me, why do they sing that silly thing?
Yaddie, Kaddie, Koo, Love your daddy, do
Kiddie Koo, he loves you;
That melody from Waikiki
Hasn't any sense, until they commence
"Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie, Kaddie, Koo"
When the milkman called around this morning,
I asked him to leave a pint or two,
He said, "Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie, Koo;"
When the landlord calls, I'm always yawning,
He don't ever say "the rent is due,"
All he says is "Yaddie, Kaddie, Koo."
Butcher, baker, janitor,
When they knock upon my door
I say, "not today, I'm feeling blue,"
They say, "Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie, Koo."
Please tell me, why do they sing that silly thing?
Yaddie, Kaddie, Koo, Love your daddy, do
Kiddie Koo, he loves you;
That melody from Waikiki
Hasn't any sense, until they commence
"Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddie, Kaddie, Koo"
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics to this song.
