Mr. Bass Man

Click here to hear the song! (MP3 format)

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,

d-d-b-bop-a-bop (Bass voice: You mean b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)

Yeah! Mr. Bass Man, you're on all the songs

B-did-did-a-boom-boom, B-dit-dit-a-boom-boom-bom

Hey Mr. Bass Man, you're the hidden King of Rock 'n' Roll,

d-d-b-bop-a-bop (Bass voice: No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)

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? Yeah, will you sing?

'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too,

d-d-b-bop-a-bop (Bass voice: Try this, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)

Hey Mr. Bass Man, I think I'm really with it

B-did-did-a-boom-boom, a-boom-boom-b-dit-dit-dit-dit

C'mon, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too,

d-d-b-bop-a-bop (Bass voice: That's it, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)

(Scat bass duet between Johnny & bass voice)

(repeat "It don't mean a thing", etc.)
