Jean Harlow died the other day
These are the words I heard her say
Her mother was sittin' at her bedside and cryin'
I believe to my soul that my child is dyin'
Tang a lang, tang a lang, badada-deedledee
Tang a lang, tang a lang, badada-deedledee
Tang a lang, tang a lang, badada-deedledee Oh
Her Mama goin' to walk, her Mama talk yes
Her Mama goin' to walk, her Mama talk yes
Her Mama goin' to walk, her Mama talk New York

Mother says: Doctor, can you save me one
Doctor says: Well, I believe I will go
Need me tomorrow, you can let me know
Tang a lang, tang a lang, badada-deedledee
Tang a lang, tang a lang, badada-deedledee
Tang a lang, tang a lang, badada-deedledee Oh
