Gimme Dat Ding Lyrics by The Shaggs

Shaggs’ Own Thing

1982

[Intro]
That's right, that's right, I'm sad and blue
'Cause I can't do the boogaloo
I'm lost, I'm lost, can't do my thing
That's why I sing "Gimme, gimme dat ding!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
[Chorus]
Oh, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
[Refrain]
What good's a metronome without a bell for ringing?
How fast can anybody ever tell he swinging?
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
Gimme dat, gimme dat
Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme dat ding
[Chorus]
Oh, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
[Post-Chorus]
Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme dat ding
[Refrain]
What good's a metronome without a bell for ringing?
How fast can anybody ever tell he swinging?
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
Gimme dat, gimme dat
Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
[Outro]
Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
