| Deedely dum dum dum, Deedely dum dum
|
| (this is the mandolin playing the melody)
|
| Here comes the man with the mandolin
|
| (Mandolin playing melody again)
|
| He’ll cheer you up 'till your ship comes in
|
| Loveable old fellow playing an old tune
|
| He comes 'round every afternoon
|
| Raggedy old minstrel, wearing a big grin
|
| You’ll love the man with the mandolin
|
| All the kids foller, all the kids holler
|
| To the windows above
|
| Mamma throw a nickle and the man wil tick
|
| A little tune we love
|
| (mandolin plays melody again)
|
| Open your heart let the music in
|
| (mandolin again)
|
| There goes the man with the mandolin |
