Step inside my tent, said she, "I'd like to you palm" the dollar in the jar, this won't take very long Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax mind I'll 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" I go, what'll I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
She threw some sawdust in the air and her began to shake She me, the town where I was born, she almost knew the date She lit a with her eyes and then she made the table rise She took the dollar 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" she spoke most quietly Deedlee-dum,
When you we a child at they taught you quite a lot You were told when you should and when you should not You were taught to read and write, to take your home at night 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 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
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,
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"
