Mr. Bass Man

Johnny Cymbal

Hey, mister bassman
You've got that certain something
Hey, mister bassman
You set that music thumping

To you it's easy
When you go one, two, three
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
You mean ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

Yes
Hey, mister bassman
You're on all the songs
With a ba-ba, ba-ba, boom-boom
And a ba-ba-ba-ba, boom-boom-boom-bom

Hey, mister bassman
You're the hidden king of rock and roll
Ba-ba-ba-ba-boom
No, no, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Oh
Well, it don't mean a thing
When the leader's singing
Or when he goes
Ay-yi-yi, yi-yi-yi-yi

Hey, mister bassman
I'm asking just one thing
Will you please teach me
Yes, the way you sing

'Cause, mister bassman
I wanna be a bassman, too
Ba-ba-ba-ba-boom-ba-boom-ba-boom-boom
Like this, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
Ba-ba-ba-boom-boom-boom, now you go
Boom-boom-boom-boom-ba-boom
Boom-boom-boom-boom-ba-boom
With me now
Boom-ba-boom-ba-boom-ba
Boom-ba-boom-ba-boom-ba
Boom-ba-ba-boom-ba-ba-boom-ba-ba-boom
Ba-ba-boom-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Well, it don't mean a thing
When the leader's singing
And when he goes
Ay-yi-yi, yi-yi-yi-yi

Hey, mister bassman
I think I'm really with it
Hey, mister boom-a-boom-a-boom
De-de-de-de-de-de, boom-boom-boom-boom

Hey, mister bassman
Now I'm a bassman, too
Ba-ba-ba-ba, de-de-de, boom-da-boom-da-boom, oh, yeah
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da...
