There have been so many references to this in Sorcha's "Slang Thread" it is time to add it. An accordian classic, much better than Lady of Spain.

HOOP-DEE-DOO


POLKA 2/4
Words by Frank Loesser
Music by Milton DeLug
Copyright 1950 Frank Music Corp.

(Eb) Hoop - dee-doo, Hoop-dee-doo
(Eb) I hear a polka and my Hoop-dee-doo, Hoop-dee-dee, this kind of music is like Hoop-dee-doo, Hoop-dee-doo,
It's got me (Eb7) higher than a (Ab)kite.
Hand me down my soup and fish,
(Eb)I am gonna get my (C9) wish (Fm7) Hoop (Fdim)-dee (Ab)doo (A) -in (Bb7) it to (E) night.

When there's a (Ab)trom (Fm)-bone (Cm) play (Ab)in rah-ta dah-dah-dah,
(Bdim) I get a thrill. I always (Eb7) will.
When there's a (Bbm7)con (Eb7)cer - (Bbm7)tin (Eb7) a (Bbm7) stretch in (Eb7) out a mile
I always (Bb7) smile (Eb7) ' cause that's my (Ab6) style
When there's a (Ab) fiddle (Fm) in the (Cm) middle (Ab) and he plays the tune so sweet.
(Ab7) Plays the tune so sweet that I could (Db6) die
(Db) Lead me to the floor, and (Ab) hear me yell for (F7) more
'cause I'm a (Bb7) hoop -dee- (Eb9) doo - (Ebdim) - in (Eb7) kind of (Ab)guy.

I'm in clover I'm in bloom,
When I'm dancin' give me room
Hoop - dee- doo- in it with all of my might
Rain may fall and snow may come,
Noth-in's gonna stop me from
Hoop - dee- doo - in it to night.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
