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
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
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
Boom-boom-boom-boom-ba-boom
Boom-boom-boom-boom-ba-boom
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 Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
Da-da-da-boom-da-boom-da
