Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Yeah, my baby knows

Matilda Brown told ole' King Tut
Say if you can't pay me five, just keep your big mouth shut
Shoutin'

Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Ye-es, your baby knows

Momma`s on the chair, Poppa`s on the cot
Baby`s on the floor blowin' his natural top
Sayin'

Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Mmm Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Ye-es, my baby knows

Up in the mountains, mad as I can be
Lookin' for the cat that took my baby from me
Shoutin'

Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop
Mmm Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop
Ye-e-es,. my baby knows

Now you've heard this song from start to end
Now take the title once again
Baby, Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop
