Mr Bass Man Lyrics

(J Cymbal)

Jalo Music, Inc 



 (Bop-bop-bop singing by bass voice)

 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, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

 (Bass voice: You mean b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...) 

  



Mr. Bass Man, you're on all the songs

 B-did-did-a-boom-boom, B-dit-dit-a-boom-boom-bom 

Hey Mr. Bass Man, you're the hidden King of Rock 'n' Roll, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

 (Bass voice: No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...) 



 It don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'

 Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah"

 Mr. Bass Man, I'm askin' just one thing: 

Will you teach me? Yeah, the way you sing?

 'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

 (Bass voice: Try this, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...)

  Mr. Bass Man, I think I'm really with it

 B-did-did-a-boom-boom, a-boom-boom-b-dit-dit-dit-dit

 Oh, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

 (Bass voice: That's it, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...) 

(Scat bass duet between John & bass voice) 



 It don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'

 Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah"

  Mr. Bass Man, I'm askin' just one thing: 

Will you teach me? Yeah, the way you sing?

 'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

 (Bass voice: Try this, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...) 



 Mr. Bass Man, I think I'm really with it

 B-did-did-a-boom-boom, a-boom-boom-b-dit-dit-dit-dit

 C'mon, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

 (Bass voice: Getting good, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...) 

 

(scat duet, fading out)
