Lyrics

Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Yeeaahh

Come on baby
Let's slip away
You know I'm in a hurry
Want to leave right away

Don't make sense
If it ain't the real thing
'Cause nothing but the real thing
Makes my heart sing
Yeeaahh

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Yeeaahh

Come on baby
Now don't be too slow
You know I'm in a hurry
I really do want to go

First you're up
And then you're down

Crazy living
In this old town

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Yeeaahh

Come on baby
Let's slip away
You know I'm in a hurry
Want to leave right away

Don't make sense
If it ain't the real thing
'Cause nothing but the real thing
Makes my heart sing

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma

Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma ma
Shu ba da du ma ma ma
Yeeaahh
