Deedely dum dum dum, deedely dum dum This is the mandolin playing the melody Here comes the man with the mandolin Mandolin playing melody again He'll cheer you up 'til your ship comes in Loveable old fellow playing an old tune He comes 'round every afternoon Raggedy old minstrel, wearing a big grin You'll love the man with the mandolin All the kids foller, all the kids holler To the windows above Mamma throw a nickle and the man wil tick A little tune we love Mandolin plays melody again Open your heart let the music in Mandolin again There goes the man with the mandolin
