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, and chi-lawa)

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah (la goombah)

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

My bambino go to sleep

(Chi, chi, chi-baba)

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

An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah (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 (la la goombah! chi-baba)

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
