Bama Lama, Bama Loo!



Got a gal

Named Lucinda

They call her

The great pretender



Got a gal

Named Lucinda

They call her

The great pretender



Because when she talks,

She says: Bama Lama, Loo!



Well...



Bama Lama, Bama Loo!

Bama Lama, Bama Loo!



The way she smiles

She drives me wild



Bama Lama, Bama Loo!



Well, I asked my little baby for a kiss

She shooked her head around like this



I asked my little baby for a kiss

She shooked her head around like this



She said: all right!



Bama Lama, Bama Loo!

Bama Lama, Bama Loo!



The way she smiles

She drives me wild



Bama Lama, Bama Loo!
