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,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (you mean ba ba ba ...)

Yeah! Mr.Bass Man,you're on all the songs
With the boo-boo-boo-boom-boom,
and the dit-dit-boom-boom-booom
Hey Mr.Bass Man,you're the hidden
King of Rock'n' Roll,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (No no ba ba ba ...)

Oh,it don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'
Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah"

Hey Mr.Bass Man,I'm askin' just one thing:
Will you teach me? umm,Yeah,the way you sing
'Cause Mr.Bass Man,I wanna be a bass man too,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (Try this ba ba ba ...)

Oh,Mr.Bass Man,I really think I'm with it
Boo-boo-boo-boom-boom,
and the du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du
Come on,Mr.Bass Man,now I'm a bass man too,
Du du ba ba ba ba (That's it ba ba ba ...)
(Now you...) Boom-boom-booom... (With me...)

Oh,It don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'
Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah"
Hey Mr.Bass Man,I'm askin' just one thing
Will you teach me? umm,Yeah,the way you sing
'Cause Mr.Bass Man,I wanna be a bass man too,
Du du ba ba ba ba (Try this ba ba ba ...)

Yeah! Mr.Bass Man,I think I'm really with it
With the du-du-du-boom-boom,
and the bu-bu-bu-du-du-du-du-du

C'mon,Mr.Bass Man,now I'm a bass man too,
Du du ba ba ba ba (Now you ba ba ba ...)
Boom-boom... Boom-boom... Oh,yeah
