There’s lazy Daisy, loosey-goosey, Ling Ling, and lickety-split

And lovey-dovey, legal eagle, mellow yellow, and nitwit

And mumbo-jumbo, muck-a-muck, Mau Mau, Bony Moronie

And Mai Tai, mole hole, nitty-gritty, phony (fake)-baloney.

There’s namby-pamby, no-no, ooey-gooey, okey-doke, ping pong

And pom-pom, palsy-walsy, pasty-faced, slap-happy, singalong
And pow-wow, pitter-patter, pooper-scooper, plain Jane, and pell-mell
And poo-poo (scat), pooh-pooh (reject), and pupu (snack). How can you tell?

There's quick fix, quack-quack, razzle-dazzle, rail trail, ragtag, ring-aling

And razzmattaz, and rumble-tumble, Roger dodger, and Sing Sing.

And ready Freddy, rollick-frolic, “fuddle-duddle” (P. Trudeau)

And roly-poly, rinky-dink and super-duper, or so-so.

There's shock jock, sure cure, snip-snap, sci-fi, smartcart, 

       shipshape, stun(ning) gun,

And silly billy, speed read, shilly-shally, squish-squash, stumblebum

And shady lady, seesaw, space race, Star Wars, snail mail, PigglyWig'

And tutti-frutti, tittle-tattle, tiki, tip-top, thing'majig.

There's teeter-totter, tootsie-wootsie, teentsie-weentsie, and tee-tee

And tom-toms drumming, tartar, tum-tum, tattle-tale, uh-huh, TV
And tubby-wubby, wishy-washy, willy-nilly, woman’s womb

And walkie-talkie, wingding, yo-yo, yoo-hoo! zig-zag and zoom-zoom.

                       Ta-Dah !!!
