  • Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo oo oo oo ooo

    Well, I met him on a Sunday
    (Ooo)
    And I missed him on Monday
    (Ooo)

    Well, I found him on a Tuesday
    (Ooo)
    And I dated him a Wednesday
    (Ooo)

    Well, I kissed him on a Thursday
    (Ooo)
    And he didn't come Friday
    (Ooo)

    When he showed up Saturday
    (Ooo)
    I said, "Bye, bye baby"

    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo oo oo oo ooo

    Well, I kissed him on a Thursday
    (Ooo)
    And he didn't come Friday
    (Ooo)

    When he showed up Saturday
    (Ooo)
    I said, "Bye, bye baby"

    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
    Doo oo oo oo ooo
