Cuz you're
Shama lama huh
In the rama lama ding dong
Baby huh

Ooh my my (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Back into my smile child
Hey! hey
That is why, that is why
You are my shooby dooby doo
You put the shama lama, ding dong
Hey ! hey
You put the ooh my my (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Back into my smile child
That is why, that is why
You are my shooby dooby doo
And I love, this love we share
It's stronger then the other
No one else can compare
Stronger then the highest mountain and the deepest sea
Hey!
