I go through life,
'most every day,
Every arking day
Day day day,
And this,
This is what I say
Say say:
"Ta dida da,
Ta dida dae
My name is nobody;
God welcome the new day"
Sounds pretty upbeat,
That I know,
Know
Know
But knowing doesn't matter...
So just go,
Go go...

The author's comments:
Third and final ta dida da ditty, written on a day when I was feeling rather depressed. (Should that explain anything.)
This one is a bit different from the other two, in that I tried to incorporate the ta dida da part a bit differently.

Thankyou, it's a sort of nod to hero of mine, and one of my alter-egos :)

I am glad, though I wouldn't think it nonsensical :)

To each their own, Aderes. Thank you for commenting :D

I actually like this one, even though it is nonsensical. :)
