Itty Bitty Ditty — by Little Miss Ann
LYRICS:
v1
This is a very witty ditty, a very witty ditty about a itty bitty city
Sometimes, it gets very very gritty but mostly it feels very very pretty
And it makes me feel so giddy in my itty bitty bitty city
La la la la la la la la
V2
When I was sitting on the ground, sitting on the ground of the funny upside town
I was making lovely sounds. Making lovely sounds? To turn around frowns!
La la la la la la la la
V3
I know it sounds absurd when I lived in the land of the burbs
Collecting all sorts of herbs
On the corner of each and every curb
La la la la la la la la
V4
This is a very witty ditty, a very witty ditty about a itty bitty city
Sometimes, it feels very very gritty but mostly it is very very pretty
I feel so very very giddy in my itty bitty bitty city
in my itty bitty bitty city
in my itty bitty bitty city
in my bitty itty witty city
in my itty bitty witty city
In my itty gritty gritty pretty itty pretty pretty . .
Giddy giddy, giddy, giddy, giddy, . . city
