Lyrics

Bom, ba-ba-bom, bab
Um-dab, um-dab, um, wah-wah-wah
Bom, ba-ba-bom, bab
Um-dab, um-dab, um, wah-wah-wah
Bom, ba-ba-bom
Um-dab, um-dab, um-dab, um-dab
I am only five years old and my baby's three
But I know that she's the girl, just you wait and see
When I say I love my girl, she replies to me
"Yeah"
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat-dat
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat
Which means to say she loves me (in baby talk)
To say she loves me (dip-dih-dup-dih-dup)
She cannot speak very well, everybody knows
But to me, she sure looks swell in her baby clothes
I asked her if her love is true and she only goes
"Yeah"
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat-dat
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat
Which means to say she loves me
I'll tell the world that I love her so
And if she wants to be my girl
I'll never (ever), never let her go
(Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat)
She will say to me
When I kiss her on the cheek, oh so tenderly
Although I'm only five years old, she is only three
I really love my baby (dip-dih-dup-dih-dup)
Love my baby (dip-dih-dup-dih-dup)
Bom, ba-ba-bom, bab
Um-dab, um-dab, um, wah-wah-wah
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat-dat
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat
Un-dat, un-dat, un-dat-dat, un-dat, un-dat, dat-dat
Ooh-wee-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-wee-ooh-ooh-ooh
Wee-ooh-ooh
