Lyrics
Paradiddle Joe beats out the rhythm in a rudimental way
He learned from practice while the kids were out at play
Paradiddle doo-dle all the day
Paradiddle Joe knew every drumming lick before he earned a dime
Stuck to the notion that the only way to climb
Is paradiddle doo-dle all the time
Flim flam, radda-ma-cue it
Shim sham, very little to it
Gim gim, flamma-little do it
He can do tricks with the drumstick
Paradiddle Joe swings every chorus in a fascinating way
Since all the boys and girls will come to hear him play
Paradiddle doo-dle all the day
Come on folks, and say hello
Come up and meet the drummer
We call him Paradiddle Joe
And think he′s quite a comer
From coast to coast, the hep-cats say
He's the best of the whole caboodle
He wants to show you how to play
A paradiddle doo-dle
Okay, Joe, that′s really grand
You pitched that down the middle
But now's the time to send them back
With a double paradiddle
Folks, you ain't heard nothing yet
We′ve got him on the griddle
He′s burning up, and now you'll get
A triple paradiddle
Single, double, triple
That′s Paradiddle Joe
