Didja Didja Didja Did you get the news that I was lost at sea? Hey hey hey Somebody's confused, you know that couldn't be me! I wasn't near that place, I don't know where it was She didn't see my face, You know it's true because [chorus] I know why he sings, I know about these things I know why it is caged, So I don't know why I'm enraged.
