WHICH WITCH DOCTOR?
The Vogues, 1958

When I went to see my girl, I knew just what to do.
Because I’d seen the witch doctor way down in Timbuktu.
But before I could use his voodoo, she broke my heart in two.

She said to me, “Which witch doctor did you see?
Which witch doc did you see?
It couldn’t be the one that I saw,
‘Cause this is what he said to me,
He said: “Oh, ring, ding, ringalingadingydang,
Ringalingadingydang dew,
Ring, ding, ringalingadingydang keeps him from loving you.”

I put my arms around her, never thought she would resist.
But when I tried to kiss her, she just wouldn’t be kissed.
First she bit me, and then she hit me right in my eye with her fist.

She said to me, “Which witch doctor did you see?
Which witch doc did you see?
He couldn’t be the one that I saw,
‘Cause this is what he said to me,
He said: “Oh, ring, ding, ringalingadingydang,
Ringalingadingydang dew,
Ring, ding, ringalingadingydang keeps him from loving you.”

I went back to Timbuktu; I knew just what to do.
I punched that old witch doctor right in his big voodoo.
When I got him, I sure did swat him, and then when I was all through,

He said to me,”which witch doctor did you see? I’m sure it wasn’t me.
I couldn’t be the one that you saw, ‘cause I give a guarantee
With my yep, yep, diddlewiddledeedah, diddlewiddledeedah dew,
Yep, yep, diddlewiddledeedah, I’ll find a girl for you.
With my yep, yep, diddlewiddledeedah, diddlewiddledeedah dew,
Yep, yep, diddlewiddledeedah, I’ll find a girl for you.”
