Testo Chi-Baba-Chi-Baba - Perry Como

Chi-Baba-Chi-Baba

Many a year ago in old Sorrento
A certain ditty was quite the thing
Whenever a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento
This little ditty she used to sing
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
All the stars are in the skies ready to say goodnight
Can’t you see your doll is sleepy too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
While she sings a lullaby to you
Oh, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
(Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa, and chi-lawa)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah (la goombah)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
(Chi, chi, chi-baba)
Chi, chi, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah (la goombah)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
All the stars are in the skies ready to say goodnight, goodnight
Can’t you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
While she sings a lullaby to you, ever so sweetly
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah (la la goombah! chi-baba)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
