(Ba ba ba ...)
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,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (you mean ba ba ba ...)

Yeah！ Mr. Bass Man, you're on all the songs
With the boo-boo-boo-boom-boom,
and the dit-dit--boom-boom-booom
Hey Mr. Bass Man, you're the hidden
King of Rock 'n' Roll,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (No no ba ba ba ...)

Oh, 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？ umm, Yeah, the way you sing
'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (Try this ba ba ba ...)

Oh, Mr. Bass Man, I really think I'm with it
Boo-boo-boo-boom-boom,
and the du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du
Come on, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too,
Du du ba ba ba ba (That's it ba ba ba ...)
(Now you...) Boom-boom-boom... (With me...)

Oh, 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？ umm, Yeah, the way you sing
'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too,
Du du ba ba ba ba (Try this ba ba ba ...)

Yeah！ Mr. Bass Man, I think I'm really with it
With the du-du-du-boom-boom,
and the bu-bu-bu-du-du-du-du-du

C'mon, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too,
Du du ba ba ba ba (Now you ba ba ba ...)
Boom-boom...　Boom-boom...　Oh, yeah
