Song Information
|
"That's Life-a-ringy-a-dingy-dind-ding-doodle" is a song by Ned as a part of The Lyrical Stylin's of Ned Flanders: A Jaunty Gent of All Genres.
Lyrics
- Had a wife 'til the good Lord took her.
- He brought her down
- With an air-bazooka.
- Now I'm missin' her meatloaf
- And her low-fat apple strudel.
- But that's life,
- That's life-a-ringy-a-dingy-dind-ding-doodle.
- I've been a winner, a loser, a lover, a liver,
- A dad to Todd and to Rod.
- I live next door to Homer Simpson,
- And I still believe in God.
- And each time I fe-fo-find myself down on my knewws
- I don't even ask, "How-do, Lord, why me?"
- No siree-bob! That's life,
- And I won't dispute it.
- Run it up the ol' flag-diddily-pole,
- I'll stand and salute it.
- That's life,
- So darn pick-adilly fickle.
- One day I'm thinkin' it ain't worth a silly nickel.
- The next day I'm feelin' frisky
- As a miniature poodle.
- Becuase that's life,
- That's life-a-ringy-a-dingy-dind-ding-doodle!
Behind the Laughter
The song is a parody of the Frank Sinatra song "That's Life", written by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon. The "-a-ringy-a-dingy-dind-ding-doodle" part is Flanders' take on Sinatra's saying (and later song and album) "ring-a-ding-ding".
