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