Artist/Band: Bob Crosby
Lyrics for Song: Ja-Da
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Bob Crosby



You've heard all about your raggy melody


Everything from opera down to harmony


But I've a little song that I will sing to you


It's gonna win you through and through


There ain't much to the words but the music is grand


And you'll be a-singing it to beat the band


You've heard of the tisket and tasket it's true


But give a little listen to this will you?





Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da


Jing, Jing, Jing


Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da


Jing, Jing, Jing


That's a funny little bit of melody


It's so soothing and appealing to me


It goes Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da


Jing, Jing, Jing





Our bands have been digging back for tunes to be sung


Operas and nursery rhymes have been overdone


I dug a little deeper and I found this thing


It's ragtime but it still can swing


It ain't a turkeytrot or a shimmey onestep


But when grandma danced to it


She thought she was hep


It still is a ditty


I'm sure you will find


Will keep a runnin' 'round and around your mind





Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da


Jing, Jing, Jing


Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da


Jing, Jing, Jing


That's a funny little bit of melody


It's so soothing and appealing to me


It goes Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da


Jing, Jing, Jing


Ja-Da by Bob Crosby

Bob Crosby's 'Ja-Da' stands as a quintessential example of the swing era's big band sound, capturing the infectious energy that defined the late 1930s and early 1940s. As a leader of the Bob Crosby Orchestra, Crosby blended the smooth, romantic style of his father, Bing Crosby, with the rhythmic drive of a skilled trumpeter. The track exemplifies the genre's characteristic interplay between melodic vocals and driving brass sections, creating a lively atmosphere perfect for dance halls and radio broadcasts of the time. While specific chart positions vary by region and compilation, the song remains a staple of the American popular music repertoire, frequently appearing in collections of swing standards and big band recordings. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke the optimism and musical sophistication of the pre-war era, showcasing the collaborative spirit of the era's top-tier ensembles.
