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!
