Oh, Babe!
Kay Starr · Other Songs - Kay Starr
Then ya get meeeellow!
Mustn't be laaazy!
Gotta be craaazy!
Once you get started
This is what'll happen to you
Ya shake it an' ya break it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya knock it an' ya rock it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya swing it an' ya sing it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya skip it an' ya dip it an' ya, Oh Babe
The world turns upside down
When ya holler Oh Babe.
Ya wiggle an' ya giggle an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya shuffle an' ya scuffle an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya romp it an' ya stomp it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya move it an' ya groove it an' ya, Oh Babe
The world turns upside down
When ya holler Oh Babe
Ya shake it an' ya break it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya knock it an' ya rock it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya swing it an' ya sing it an' ya, Oh Babe
Ya skip it an' ya dip it an' ya, Oh Babe
The world turns upside down
When ya holler Oh Babe.
Oh Babe!
