He doesn't talk much,
But when he does he sayin' somethin'.
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.)
He lives in the slums,
'Cause his folks never had nothin'
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.)
(He's a rebel without a cause.)
(He doesn't do what everyone does.)
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty.)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty.)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom.)
I see him every day,
Hangin' 'round the neighborhood.
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.)
They say stay away, don't talk to him,
'Cause he is no good.
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.)
(He's a rebel without a cause.)
(He doesn't do what everyone does.)
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty.)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty.)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom.)
(How did he ever get in so much trouble?)
(Sha-da da-da, sha da da-da da-da.)
(Why do the papers always mention his name?)
(Sha-da da-da, sha da da-da da-da.)
(He's a rebel without a cause.)
(He doesn't do what everyone does.)
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty.)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty.)
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom.)

THE DUM DUM DITTY1
Written by: Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart, Larry Martire & Steve Venet.
Produced by: Shel Talmy.
Performed by: The Shangri-Las22a3-1966.
Appears on: Shangri-Las '65-1965, Myrmidons of Melodrama-1994 & 2002, The
Shangri-Las Greatest Hits-19964, The Best of the Shangri-Las-1996 & 1999,
The Leader of the Pack-1999 & 2000, The Leaders of the Pack-2005,
Shangri-Las Remembered-2008, et al.
1No one seems to be able to explain why the girls clearly say, "Run run
ditty," even though the song is titled, "Dum Dum Ditty." Go figure!
2Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss1a, formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."
2aBecause Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.
3Originally recorded by The Goodees in 1966, but after the Shangri-Las
recorded it shortly thereafter, also 1966, the Goodees' version was largely
abandoned. The only other cover was by the Fabulous Singlettes-1988.

Shangri-Las biography
The Shangri-Las were an American, pop, girl-group, of the 1960s. Along with the Shirelles and the Ronettes, the Shangri-Las were among the greatest girl groups of the 1960s, if judged solely on the basis of attitude, they were probably the greatest of them all. They combined an innocent adolescent charm with more than a hint of darkness, singing about dead bikers, teenage runaways, and doomed love affairs as well as ebullient high-school crushes.
The group was formed in 1963, at Andrew Jackson High School in Cambria Heights, a part of Queens, in New York. They consisted of two sets of sisters: Mary Weiss, lead singer most of the time, (born 1948) and Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss (born 1946), and identical twins Marguerite "Marge" (1947-1996) and Mary Ann Ganser (1947-1970). The girls often appeared as a trio, Betty Weiss rarely on stage until late 1965, because her mother didn't approve of Betty traveling until she reached the age of 18.
