Bah bah bah bop oom dab oom dab oom wa wa wa
Bah bah bah bop oom dab oom dab oom wa wa wa
Bah bah bah oom dab oom dab oom dab oom dab

I am only five years old and my baby's three
(Bah bah bah oom dab oom dab oom dab oom dab)
But I know that she's the girl just you wait and see
(Bah bah bah oom dab oom dab oom dab oom dab)
When I say I love my girl, she replies to me
(Bah bah bah oom)
Yeah

Dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab dab dab
Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab dab
Which means to say she loves me
In baby talk
To say she loves me
Dip di dip di dip

She cannot speak very well, everybody knows
(Bah bah bah oom dab oom dab oom dab oom dab)
But to me she sure looks swell, in her baby clothes
(Bah bah bah oom dab oom dab oom dab oom dab)
I asked her if her love is true and she only goes
(Bah bah bah oom)
Yeah

Dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab dab dab
Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab dab

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), ever let her go-o
Mmm hmm hmm

Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab she will say to me
(Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab oom dab dab)
When I kiss her on the cheek, oh so tenderly
(Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab oom dab dab)
Although I'm only five years old, she is only three
(Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab oom dab oom dab dab)
I really love my baby
Dip di dip di dip
Love my baby
Dip di dip di dip

Bah bah bah bop oom dab oom dab oom wa wa wa
Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab, oom dab oom dab, dab dab
Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab, oom dab oom dab dab

Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab, oom dab oom dab oom dab dab

Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab, oom dab oom dab oom dab dab
(Woo wee ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Oom dab oom dab oom dab dab, oom dab oom dab dab dab
(Wooeee woo ooo ooo)
