"Gimme Dat Ding" Lyrics

That's right, that's right, I'm sad and blue
'Cause I can't do the boogaloo
I'm lost, I'm lost, can't do my thing
That's why I sing "Gimme, gimme dat ding!"

Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
(Oh, sing it one more time, mama)

Ah, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
(Ah, you ain't doing that late at night)

A-ooh, what good's a metronome without a bell for ringing?
(You're right, you're right, it's no use at all)
How fast can anybody ever tell he swinging?
(Eh, they can't tell)
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
(Well, you don't go too far, that's what you do)
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
(Well you look around ya)
Gimme dat
(Gimma dat)
Gimme dat
(Gimma dat)
Gimme dat
(Gimma dat)
Gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
(Ah, gotcha)

Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding

Oh, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding

A-ooh, what good's a metronome without a bell for ringing?
(Well, you try and you do your best)
How fast can anybody ever tell he swinging?
(Oh, you ain't doing that at all mama)
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
(Well, you see)
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
(Ah, yeah gimme dat)
Gimme dat (Do ya wanna make an old man happy?)
Gimme dat
Gimme dat
Gimme dat, (Yeah, well, gimme some o' dat...)
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding

(That's right)
