"Ricky Tic Song" Lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

(Is everybody feelin' silly now? Yeah, I feel silly, yes.)

Well, I'm gonna teach you a ricky tic song
It's kinda silly and it ain't too long
But you can't go wrong singin' a ricky ticky song
You just go ricky ticky, ticky, tacky, ticky, ticky
Ricky ticky ticky tacky ticky tacky ticky
No you can't go wrong singin' a ricky tic song.

Now I'm gonna teach you a scooby, dooby song
Sorta silly and it ain't too long
But you can't go wrong singin' a scooby dooby song
You just go scooby, dooby, dooby, ooby, dooby, ooby, dooby
Scooby, dooby, dooby, dooby, ooby, dooby, dooby
No you can't go wrong singin' a scooby, dooby song.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I'm gonna teach you a tagga, wagga song
Equally as silly and equally as long
But you can't go wrong singin' a yagga, wagga song
You just go yagga, wagga, yagga, wagga, wagga, wagga, wagga
Yagga, wagga, wagga, wagga, wagga, wagga, wagga, wagga
No you can't go wrong singin' a yagga, wagga song.

No you can't go wrong with ricky, ticky, yagga, wagga
Scoodby, dooby, zinga, zanga, dobble, wobble, mobble, woogle
Zao, zao, ricky, ticky, ticky, ticky, ticky song...
