: : Does anyone know the origin of this word/group of nonsense syllables? I came up empty-handed on a web search. I vaguely associate it with jive-talk phrases like "23 skidoo", but there may not be any connection.
: It's a child's song. I know we've discussed this. I'll try to find it in the archives.
No luck. Maybe someone else will remember what we came up with.
Skidamarink
Skidamarink - adink - a dink
Skidamarink - a doo!
I love you! (twice)
I love you in the morning
and in the afternoon
I love you in the evening
and underneath the moon!
Oh, skidamarink - adink - a dink,
Skidamarink - a doo!
I LOVE YOU!!!
