Chi Baba, Chi Baba - Perry Como

Many a year ago in old Sorrento

A certain ditty was quite the thing

Whenever a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento

This little ditty, she used to sing

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

All the stars are in the skies ready to say «Goodnight»

Can’t you see your doll is sleepy too?

Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight

While she sings a lullaby to you

Oh, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba

Chi-baba, chi-wawa, an' chi-lawa

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

Chi, chi, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

All the stars are in the skies ready to say «Goodnight, goodnight»

Can’t you see your doll is sleepy too?

Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight

While she sings a lullaby to you ever so sweetly

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep
