Subject: Doo Wah Diddy
I knew the first time some asked about "Do-I-Ditty" It was in Phil
Haris's favorite song "That What I like about the South" It bothered me
so I Goggled it and found it It appears in the middle of the song.
fRANK mCgURN
Did I tell you about the place called Do-I-Ditty
It ain't no town and it ain't no city
It's just awful small but awful pretty
With Do-I-Ditty
I didn't come here to critisize
I'm not here to sympathize
But don't call me those no good lies
Cause a lying gal I do despise
You love me like I love you
Send me fifty PDQ
Roses are red and violets are pink
I'll get that good ole fifty I don't think

I recorded the music programs on the Star Spangled Radio Hour for April 6 and
13, but did not copy down the show information. Does anyone know the dates or
show #s of the programs broadcast on those dates?

Who worked for a radio station.
Although he was tall,
His hands were too small,
Wee pause for station identification.
