I hear tell you're doin' well,
Good thing have come to you.
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do,
Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

They tell me you're runnin' free,
Your days are never blue.
I wish I had your good-luck charm
And you had a do-wacka-do,
Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

Yeah, I see you're goin' down the street in your big Cadillac,
You got girls in the front, you got girls in the back,
Yeah, way in back, you got money in a sack,
Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back
root-doot-doot-doot-doot, do-wah,

I hear tell you're doin' well,
Good things have come to you.
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do,
Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

    They have the words listed incorrectly for do-wacka do. It's:'"hands on the wheel and shoulders reared back." It's pronounced as though it's "rared". They have it as "right back" and I knew that was wrong as soon as I saw it. Stupid song has been running thru my mind since I woke up this morning. So I listened to it to be sure before posting. How do I tell them other than this comment?
