Could this song be from the viewpoint of an infant?
This about it... a baby would find all words to be nonsense... unsigned checks, if you will. It's not that the baby is being unkind in not replying... he/she just can't make sense of it all.
And their only reply? Do do do do, de da da da. Baby talk.
I know... it's a stretch. But it totally makes sense!
@C-Marsh When my youngest brother was a baby my family and I would sing this to him like it was baby talk, so I love your interpretation, but I don't think Sting would agree. I heard he meant this song to be political and was disappointed that most only head the nonsense words and not the real lyrics.

Okay, open your mind wide for this one...
