I think there may be the word sunrise or sunset or even both.

Justin timberlake I'm sure! Maybe k-fed. You should buy both their albums to be sure which.

"team of experts"

I suspect that the discussions on Can you identify this tune? may assist.

But I personally think that the song is

"What is this thing called, Love?"

"Justin timberflake"???

"k-fed"

Seven of the eight-man team we have assembled here are positive it is from Fiddler on the Roof. The sober one has no opinion.

OK. So, in reality, and just between you and us, I don't think it's Fiddler on the Roof. More like Mairzy Doats. Work with us on this:

MAIRZY DOATS
Merry Macs
- words and music by Milton Drake, AI Hoffman and Jerry Livingston
- featured by George Olsen and his Orchestra

I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty, others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy"

Oh! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you-oo?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Is it a folk song, a pop song, or what? It might help to know what kind of song it is, where/when you heard it, etc. Any idea of the date (1960s, 70s...?)

My dear Scrump, if it was a "pop" it would not be in my head!
Another possible phrase is:- in the daylight

One thing is certain. We can eliminate Bertie Wooster as a source. He invariably relief upon

tum tee tum tee

when he'd forgotten the words to a song.

It's not from Winnie ther Pooh either, his song went 'Tiddley Pom'.

Could it be-We're Busy Doing Nothing,

Seem to recall that there's a bit of 'La La' in that song.

Is it 'San plan pour moi' by Plastique Bertrand, the other famous Belgian?

oops. I meant to type "Bertie Wooster relied... not relief.

I think I know what it is. It's Come Go With Me as recorded by the Beach Boys.

Dom dom dom dom dom
Dom be dooby
Dom dom dom dom dom
Dom be dooby
Dom dom dom dom dom
Dom be dooby dom
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

I love love you darling
Come and go with me
Come home with me
Baby I'm to see
I need you darling
Come and go with me
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Can you sort of higher or lower the notes as per this
      la
La la      la
               la   so we get some idea of the ups and downs of the tune please?

Hi GS, I will have a go at that but I am NOT a singer, so it would be guess work!

Easy one,this.

    skipy,it's the opening two lines of the British National Anthem, with the last two 'de de's missing. That's what must have led people astray.
