Lyric discussion by edge of the world 

Cover art for Daktari lyrics by 10,000 Maniacs

This song, as far as I can tell, is pure syllabic nonsense. I don't know. But it's some of the best nonsense I've ever heard. This is easily one of the best songs on 'The Wishing Chair' (I don't own 'Hope Chest') next to "My Mother the War" and features some of the best musical craftmanship I've heard. Plus, it's fun to dance to.
