That Da Da Strain - Original - Ethel Waters

Have you heard it, have you heard it

That Da Da Strain?

It will shake you, it will make you

Really go insane

Everybody’s full of pep

Makes you watch your every step

Every prancer, every dancer

Starts to lay 'em down

Everybody when they hear it

Starts to buzzing 'round;

I get crazy as a loon

When everybody hums this tune:

Da-Da, Da-Da

Da-Da, Da-Da

Because the feeling

Sets your brain a-reeling;

Just like you’re falling

That runabout refrain,

When everybody starts to

Da-Da, Da-Da

Da-Da, Da-Da

I want to do it once again

I’m simply wild about that Da-Da, Da-Da Strain!

Oh, Da-Da Da-Da

Da-Da Da-Da

Because this feeling

Sets your brain a’reeling

Just like you’re falling

That runabout refrain

When everybody starts to Da-Da, Da-Da, Da, Da-Da

I want to do it once again

I’m simply wild about the Da-Da, Da-Da Strain

Da, Da-Da, Da-Da

Da-Da, Da-Da

Da-Da, Da-Da

Because that feeling

Sets your brain a-reeling

Just like you’re falling

That runabout refrain

Oh, Da-Da, Da-Da

Da-Da, Da-Da

I wanna do it once again

I’m simply wild about that

Da-Da, Da-Da Strain!
