Step my tent, said she, "I'd like to read you palm" Leave the in the jar, this won't take very long Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your 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" I go, what'll I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
She some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake She told me, the town where I was born, she knew the date She lit a candle with her eyes and she made the table rise She took the from the jar and then 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 most 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 little knowledge 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 night to lie in bed I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had And now I see with due respect, the more we the worse we get So if you you've 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,
Give me a sign, it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" she spoke most quietly Deedlee-dum,
Where'll I go, I be 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"
