(Bop-bop-bop singing by bass voice)
|
Mr. Bass Man, you've got that certain somethin'
|
Mr. Bass Man, you set that music thumpin'
|
To you it's easy when you go 1-2-3, d-d-b-bop-a-bop
|
(Bass voice: You mean b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)
|
|
|
Mr. Bass Man, you're on all the songs
|
B-did-did-a-boom-boom, B-dit-dit-a-boom-boom-bom
|
Hey Mr. Bass Man, you're the hidden King of Rock 'n' Roll, d-d-b-bop-a-bop
|
(Bass voice: No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)
|
|
It don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'
|
Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah"
|
Mr. Bass Man, I'm askin' just one thing:
|
Will you teach me? Yeah, the way you sing?
|
'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop
|
(Bass voice: Try this, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)
|
Mr. Bass Man, I think I'm really with it
|
B-did-did-a-boom-boom, a-boom-boom-b-dit-dit-dit-dit
|
Oh, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop
|
(Bass voice: That's it, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)
|

|
