Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)

Yeah, my baby knows Matilda Brown
Told ole' King Tut
Say if you can't pay me five
Just keep your big mouth shut
shoutin'

Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)

Ye-es, your baby knows
Momma's on the chair
Poppa's on the cot
Baby's on the floor
Blowin' his natural top sayin'

Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Mmm hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop (hey, ba-ba-re-bop)

Ye-es, my baby knows
Up in the mountains, mad as I can be
Lookin' for the cat
That took my baby from me shoutin'

Hey, ba-ba-re-bop mmm
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop
Hey, ba-ba-re-bop
Ye-e-es, my baby knows
Now you've heard this song
From start to end
Now take the title once again
Baby, hey, ba-ba-re-bop
