Lyrics for Dum Dum Diddle

I can hear how you work, practising hard Playing night and day, woah-oh And it sounds better now, yes you improve Every time you play, woah-oh But it's bad You're so sad And you're only smiling When you play your violin Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle To be so near you and not just hear you Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle I think then maybe you'd see me, baby You'd be mine And we'd be together all the time Wish I was dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle But I think, you don't know that I exist I'm the quiet kind, woah-oh From the day when I first listened to you You've been on my mind, woah-oh You don't care It's not fair And you're only smiling When you play your violin Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle To be so near you and not just hear you Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle I think then maybe you'd see me, baby You'd be mine And we'd be together all the time Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle To be so near you and not just hear you Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle I think then maybe you'd see me, baby You'd be mine And we'd be together all the time Wish I was dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle
