Da-da - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
DA-DA. Copyright, 1894, by Charles W. Held. Words by George Cooper. Music by W. H. Friday, Jr. 
Oh, the birds of summer sing their song, and sweet it is to hear; You could listen to it all day long, 'tis joy unto the ear; But there's a lovelier song to me, when toils of day are o'er; A tiny voice of melody, that greets me at the door. 
Chorus. Da-da! Da-da! that's what baby says; Da-da! Da-da! oh, such pretty ways, Shakes his little hands with glee, Gives me kisses-one, two, three, Happy as a bird when calling Da-da! 
Though the day may weary seem and sad, there's rest for me at home, For the baby's smile it makes me glad, when to my door I roam; He holds his dimpled arms out so, and, with a cunning smile. Begins to softly coo and crow, and murmur all the while:-Chorus. 
Oh, I'd rather miss the light of day, the stars that grace the sky, Than to miss this word I hear him say, when toil for me goes by; Before his pretty eye-lids close, at twilight's tranquil fall; While, like a flower, he seeks repose, I hear the baby call:- Chorus.
