>Shave and a Haircut" (dit diddyditdit, dit dit)

...actually would be: dit, dit-dit dit dit. You added an extra beat/ syllable (the diddy bit = shave-e-and a hair cut), or two extra.

I see five notes (beats/ syllables) in 'shave and a hair cut', though the seven would fit in.

"Shave and a haircut, thank you". I stand to be corrected, but it is late and i am somewhat tired and emotional.

I always thought it was "Shave and a haircut, two bits."
