Lyrics
I’d like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
That made my baby
Fall in love with me
Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong
Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip
Who was that man
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby fall in love with me (yeah)
When my baby heard
“Bomp bah bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp”
Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin’
“Rama lama lama lama, rama ding dong”
She said we’d never have to part
So
Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong
Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip
Who was that man
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby fall in love with me (yeah)
Each time that we’re alone
Boogity boogity boogity boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby’s heart all aglow
And every time we dance to
Dip da dip da dip dip da dip da dip
She always says she loves me so
So
Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong
Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip
Who was that man
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby fall in love with me (yeah)
