I had no idea where to put this, so I started a new thread. I heard this on the radio recently and liked it. That's my only excuse.

Parentheses indicate words sung by the band members.

I have no idea why the singer sometimes pronounces it "dere" and sometimes "there," but I tried to document his pronunciation accurately.


WHO DAT UP DERE?
As recorded by Woody Herman's Orchestra, 1943.

Who dat up dere? Who dat down there?
Who dat up dere? (Who dat) down there?
Who dat up dere sayin' who dat down there?
When I say who up dere, who dat down there?

Who dat inside? Who dat outside?
Who dat inside? (Who dat) outside?
Who dat inside sayin' who dat outside?
When I say who inside, who dat outside?

§. None o' your lip there, big boy!
Stop answerin' back.
Give you a tip, there, big boy:
Announce yourself, Jack!

Who dat up dere? Who dat down there?
Who dat up dere? (Who dat) down there?
Who dat up dere sayin' who dat down there?
When I say who up dere, who dat down there?
