[Dixielandjazz] Yabba-Dabba-Dabba Sheet & lyrics

[Ron L'Herault]

That is Abba Dabba Honeymoon. It goes back to 1914 and Arthur Fields is one
of the composers..

Google turns up this under bus songs:

Way down in the Congo land sitting in a coconut tree,
there was a monkey and a chimp--and Lordy how she loved him.
Every night in the pale moonlight sitting in the coconut tree,
these love words she always said to he...


"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the monkey to the chimp.
"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the chimpee to the monk.
All night long they chattered away.
All day long they were happy and gay,
swinging and swaying in a honky, tonky way.


"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the chimp, "I love but you."
Abba dabba dabba in monkey talk means
"Chimp, I love you too."
Then the ol' baboon, one night in June,
married them and very soon,
they sailed away on an abba dabba honeymoon.
