I overheard the strangest talk right here beside me on the walk,
A little boy and girl of three, here’s how it sounded to me:
Dai dut the denny in a dum-dot, dai dut the denny in a dum-dot
Do det the daper and dai det the dum, cause dai dut the denny in the dum-dot.
I put the penny in the gum-slot, I put the penny in the gum-slot,
You get the paper and I get the gum, 'cause I put the penny in the gum-slot.
I put the penny in the gum-slot.
Do det the daper and dai det the dum
Cause dai dut the denny in the dum-dot.
Tol' the girlie, an' tol' the lad, if you quarrel, I’ll be sad.
Made it fair for everyone, gave them the paper and I kept the gum.
I put the penny in the gum-slot.
