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-be -bop-a-bop
(Bass voice: You mean be -be -BOP-p-p-bop bop bop…)
Yeah!
Mr. Bass Man, you’re on all the songs
be -did-did-a-boom-boom, be -dit-dit-a-boom-boom-bom
Hey Mr. Bass Man, you’re the hidden King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, d-d-be -bop-a-bop
(Bass voice: No no, be -be -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 want to be a bass man too, d-d-be -bop-a-bop
(Bass voice: Try this, be -be -BOP-p-p-bop bop bop…)
Hey Mr. Bass Man, I think I’m really with it
be -did-did-a-boom-boom, a-boom-boom-be -dit-dit-dit-dit
c’mon, Mr. Bass Man, now I’m a bass man too, d-d-be -bop-a-bop
(Bass voice: That’s it, be -be -BOP-p-p-bop bop bop…)
