Bom ba ba bom bab um dad um dab um wa wa wa
Bom ba ba bom um dab um dad um dab um dab
I am only five years old and my baby's three
(Bom ba ba bom um dab um dab um dab um dab)
But I know that she's my girl just you wait and see
(Bom ba ba bom um dab um dab um dab um dab)
When I say I love my girl, she replies to me
(Bom ba ba bom)

Which means to say she loves me
In baby talk
To say she loves me
Dib dib dib dib dib
She can no be very well, everybody knows
(Bom ba ba bom um dab um dab um dab um dab)
But to me she shore looks swell, in her baby clothes

And if she wants to be my girl

When I kiss her on the cheek, oh so tenderly
(Um dab um dab um dab dab um dab um dab dab dab)
Although I'm only five years old, and my baby's three
