Baby sittin’ boogie (1960) (midi)
1. My girl babysits for someone on her block,
G
then I come up to join her and
we start to rock,
A
the baby hears the beatin’ and
it is a shock,
- D - A
when he goes : “Bllllllll blllllll”
2. A rocking‘ type of boogie is the kind of song,
G
that makes this little baby
wanna sing along,
A
and though he maybe gets the
tune a little wrong,
- D - A
he still goes : “Boogie haa na deng.”
He isn’t too young to really
feel the beat,
D
he rocks back and forth in his
little seat,
E
he claps both his hands and he
taps his feet,
A - A
and he sings : “Du du di da da da.“
3. He is a hully gully bouncin’ baby boy,
G
you know, the record player is
his favourite toy,
A
and don’t forget he’s
everybody’s pride and joy,
- D - A
when he goes : “Uh, ah, uh !
“Devalla vadev alla lavel”
4. I know there isn’t anyone to take the bet,
G
but sure that he’s the
youngest teenager yet,
A
and probably the hippest of
the diaper set,
- D - A
as he goes : “Yun man a lak dat.”
He strolls in his room with
his radio on,
D
he doesn’t go to sleep until
the music’s gone,
E
he imitates the singer in the
group
- - - - - -
- - - - - A
with a low down voice : “Ha
had ha ha ha ha.”
5. And when it’s time to talk him in his little bed,
G
with all that music runnin’
through that sleepy head,
A
the little feller doesn’t say
goodnight instead,
- D
but he says : “Boogie boogie boogie ober.”
