Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba (My Bambino Go To Sleep)

(Mack David/Al Hoffman/Jerry Livingston)



Many a year ago in old Sorrento

A certain ditty was quite the thing

Whenever a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento

This little ditty she used to sing



Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep



All the stars are in the skies ready to say "good night"

Can't you see your doll is sleepy, too?

Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight

While she sings a lullaby to you



Oh, Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep



All the stars are in the skies ready to say "good night"

Can't you see your doll is sleepy, too?

Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight

While she sings a lullaby to you



Oh, Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep
