Thel lyrics:
Now, Mama was a flapper and daddy loved to croon
That both married late, and a romance quickly bloomed
Da da deda da da de da da da dedaaaaaaa

Mama had a red dress, fringe all around
Daddy had a zuit suit, watch chain hangin down
Da da deda da da de da da da dedaaaaaaa 

Now, they both smoked camel cigarettes, non-filtered ones the rage
Drinking was prohibited, but shortly came of age

Now, Mama loved the Charleston, she really loved that swing
Daddy he would croon a tune, everyone would sing
Da da deda da da de da da da dedaaaaaaa

(lots of da da deda’s and vodeodoes)

Now, rumble seats, and the cat’s meow
Tin Lizzies and running boards, fox head stoles and cultured pearls
Speak easies and secret codes, da da deda
For just one nickel at the picture show
She saw Rudee Vallee and Clara Bow
Yeah, da da deda da da de da da da dedaaaaaaa

Now, they both smoked camel cigarettes, non-filtered ones the rage
Drinking was prohibited, but shortly came of age

Now I know this lifestyle most of you wouldn’t approve
But is was the way
Everytime I hear ragtime tune my heart sings out, da da da deda
Da da da, da deda, da da da da, da ddedad
Da da da da, oh Vodeo, da da da da, oh Vodeo,
Da da da da, oh Vodeode od doe
Big finish boys, Yeah!
