MR. BASS MAN

Johnny Cymbal

(Bop-bop-bop singing by bass voice)

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.)
