Hey Witchdoctor, give us the magic words.
All right, you go: uh ih uh ah ah, ting tangwallawallabingbang

All right!

[Chorus]
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, tingtang wallawallabingbang
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, tingtang wallawallabingbang

Dou dou doudou dou dou dou

[Chorus]

Dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, I was in love with you
Dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, I was in love with you
Dou dou dou dou
And than the witchdoctor, he told me what to do

He told me:

[Chorus]

Dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, you didn't love me true
Dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, you didn't love me nice
Dou dou dou dou
And than the witchdoctor, he gave me this advice

[Chorus]

You can keep your love from me just like you were a miser,
And I'll admit it wasn't very smart, (eyeyeyey)
But I went out to find my-self a guy that's so much wiser,
And he told me the way to win your heart:

Dou dou doudou dou dou dou
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
Ooh eeh ooh ahah, tingtang wallawallabingbang

Come on and:

[Chorus]

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
