Step inside my tent, she, "I'd like to read you palm" Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your I'll tell you, if you should now or if you should go on
Then I said, "Now do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Where'll I go, I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
She threw some sawdust in the air and her began to shake She told me, the town I was born, she almost knew the date She lit a candle with her eyes and she made the table rise She the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight
I said, "Now what do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so Deedlee-dum,
Give me a sign, it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Then she spoke quietly Deedlee-dum,
When you we a child at school taught you quite a lot You were told when you should speak and you should not You were taught to read and write, to take your lessons at night A little knowledge serves you well but the golden does not
I said, "Now what do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Where'll I go, I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
Then I came home that night to lie in bed awake I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had And now I see with due respect, the we learn the worse we get So if you feel no regrets, go have your fortune read
Then I said, "Now do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so Deedlee-dum,
me a sign, tell it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Then she most quietly Deedlee-dum,
I go, what'll I be She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so
Deedlee-dum, me a sign, tell it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
