Doo Dah Day

Another tune with the one-stringer and ye olde stomp box, from deepest Shibuya. All the ghosts in Alabama are singin' it... Video here.

I have another version of this same song, performed on a different instrument (the strumstick) from 2009, also posted to YouTube, here:

DOO DAH DAY

the roof is leaking
the foundation shaking
the windows are rattling
the paint is flaking
i'd pack up and leave
but something tells me to stay
pretty girl next door
is singing that doo dah day

all the ghosts in alabama
are singing that doo dah day

the clock is ticking
and the bill's unpaid
company's coming
and the bed's unmade
i'm looking for someone
who'd be willing to pay
pay me lots of money
for singing that doo dah day

all the ghosts in alabama
are singing that doo dah day

there's a gun on the table
guess i'll put it to my head
or maybe i'll just go and watch
a little tv instead
come join me tonight
for some maison flambé
we'll burn down the kitchen
singing that doo dah day

all the ghosts in alabama
are singing that doo dah day
