Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma-La

Now, I can't stand it
when my baby is gone
she leaves a big black hole in my chest
I miss her, kiss me
with them ruby red lips
and squeezin' them mighty melon you know what
I get no sleep
when she's not here
and every minute's like a groundhog year

Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
Set my ass on fire
That's the way my baby makes me feel
Yeah, lawdy, lawdy aww miss lawdy
Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
That's the way my baby makes me feel

It's a roller coaster ride in a big brass bed
We be moving to the sousa-phonic beat
Mardi Gras parading every day of the week
We be second lining beating Wagners meat

Oh party all night
from dusk till dawn
She whacks me on the head
if she catches me yawning

Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
Set my ass on fire
That's the way my baby makes me feel
Yeah, lawdy, lawdy aww miss lawdy
Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
That's the way my baby makes me feel

Alright, now everybody knows
I'm a sucker for love
but this ain't no ordinary thing
Yeah, rags to riches
it don't matter to her
as long as I got my swing

She eats me up like a crawfish pie
I'm high and I'm happy baby
like a bird in the sky

Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
Set my ass on fire
That's the way my baby makes me feel
Yeah lawdy lawdy aww miss lawdy
Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
That's the way my baby makes me feel

Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
Set my ass on fire
That's the way my baby makes me feel
Yeah lawdy lawdy aww miss lawdy
Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
That's the way my baby makes me feel
Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La set my ass on fire
That's the way my baby makes me feel
Yeah lawdy lawdy aww miss lawdy
Ho-Di-Ko-Di-Ya-La-Ma La
That's the way my baby makes me feel
