Verse 1:
       C                F
On the 17th of March in La-di-da-di-da,
  C                          G
A son was born to Mrs. Da-di-dum.
       C                     F
He had two arms, two legs, a mouth, a nose and ears,
        G                       C
And the usual La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.

Verse 2:
     C                   F
They duly christened him La-di-da-di-da.
     C                             G
They gave his second name as Da-di-dum;
           C                    F
And throughout his life, and he lived for 90 years,
       G                          C
He was known as La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 3:
   C               F
As he grew up, his La-di-da-di-da
     C                            G
Grew quicker than his other Da-di-dum;
    C               F
And when he was 15, everyone remarked
       G                           C
On his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 4:
   C             F
He met a girl in La-di-da-di-da.
        C                             G
She was pretty, though a little Da-di-dum.
        C              F
But the reason that he loved her best, was she
       G                                    C
Didnae mind his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 5:
    C                  F
Her mother was awfully La-di-da-di-da.
    C                           G
Her father was completely Da-di-dum.
         C                    F
And they sat him to dinner of Salmon Mayonnaise
      G                         C
And a bowl of La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 6:
       C                  F
Now it all went well till La-di-da-di-da.
   C                            G
He bent to take a bite of Da-di-dum.
   C                        F
He couped his plate and the Salmon Mayonnaise
       G                        C
Fell upon his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 7:
    C                     F
Her mother cried loudly, "La-di-da-di-da!"
    C                              G
Her father sort of mumbled, "Da-di-dum."
        C                            F
And her mother said, "Dear, you must try to find a boy,
       G                         C
With a smaller La-di-da-di-da-di-dum."


Verse 8:
         C                        F
But they married in the spring of La-di-da-di-da.
     C                           G
They honeymooned in lovely Da-di-dum;
         C               F
But they found that they couldnae get in a double bed
        G                           C
For his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 9:
    C               F
And so they decided La-di-da-di-da,
   C                            G
To use two single beds to Da-di-Dum
     C                       F
They slept together and they used the other one
        G                          C
Just to rest his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 10:
       C               F
On the 19th of June in La-di-da-di-da,
        C                           G
He took ill with an attack of Da-di-dum;
        C                               F
So they wrapped him up in bandages that ended in a bow
G                           C
Round his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 11:
   C                      F
He died on the morning of La-di-da-di-da,
  C                           G
A victim of the dreaded Da-di-dum.
     C                               F
They put him in his coffin, but they couldnae shut the lid
        G                           C
For his great big La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 12:
        C           F
Now the undertaker, La-di-da-di-da,
  C                         G
Decided on a plan for Da-di-dum.
   C                            F
He made another coffin, roughly three feet two by one,
        G                          C
Just to take his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum.


Verse 13:
            C                       F
Now you can read on his tombstone, "La-di-da-di-da,
    C                  G
The son of La-di-da-di-dum.
     C                         F
Here lies his body, and in the next grave up but one,
         G                 C
Lies his La-di-da-di-da-di-dum."
