Default Song Lyrics help

There's a song called Paint Me Again by Neil Sedaka. There is a part of the song where he sings in a different language. I wonder if you can help me translate the lyrics to english? He sings something that sounds like: Saca Day-Oh. What does it mean? What is he singing? Can you translate it into english lyrics?

Yeah I think it's just scat singing, like "boo-boppity-doo, cha cha cha" sort of thing. I don't think it's any other language, just him improvising on the melody. Nice song.

So, what sounds like "Saca Day Oh" in this verse isn't a word that can be translated into english language? The verse sounds like: "ish da do ish ta do oh oh woa woa. saca day oh. e fu da du wah saca day du wa ah de day du wah" These aren't actual translatable words?

Don't think so. Recall Freddie Mercury singing in "Under Pressure", the bit before "Tripping around with my brains on the floor", that sort of thing. Happens a lot in jazz. Apparently.
