The Pipkins – Gimme Dat Ding lyrics
That's right, that's right I'm sad and blue
'Cause I can't do the Boogaloo
I'm lost, I'm lost, can't do my thing
That's why I sing gimme, gimme dat ding

[Chorus:]
Ah, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
("Aaaah, sing it one more time, Mama")

[Repeat Chorus]

("Ah, you ain't doin' that late at night")
Ah, what good's a metronome without a bell for ringing
("You're right, you're right, it's no use")
How fast can anybody ever tell he's swinging ("No, you can't tell")
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar
("Well, you don't go too far is what you do")
How can you ever hope to know just where you are
("Why don't you look around ya")
And gimme dat ("Ah, gimme dat")

Gimme dat ("Ah, gimme dat")
Gimme, gimme, yeah, got ya

[Chorus - 2x]

Ah, what goods a metronome without a bell for ringing
("Well, you try and do your best")
How fast can anybody ever tell he's swinging
How can you tell the rhythm written on the bar ("Well, you see")
How can you ever hope to know just where you are
Gimme dat, ah gimme dat, ah gimme dat, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

[Chorus:]

("That's right")

    It's about s**. "dat ding! " (that thing).
    Verse/bridge is merely silly a la "what good's a dictionary without a broom? ' or an lsd reference.
    This is not rock. It's what should be called barrel house-honkey tonk. With it's tinny, slightly out of tune piano solo, the song is as high as a kite, too giddy to even realize that it starts with it's chorus instead of it's verse/bridge and, very rarely, it is all in the major 7th. (see "harper valley pta" for another example).
    The major 7th poses a metaphorical musical question that the following part must 'answer. ' interestingly enough, the verse/bridge--the answer--is in a minor key. All extremely clever for it's entire running time of 2: 11.
