"Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba" lyrics

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, chihuahua
An chi-lawa, kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
An chi-lawa, kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
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, chihuahua
An chi-lawa, kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba
Chihuahua and chi-lawa

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
An chi-lawa, kook-a la goombah (La goombah)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
My bambino go to sleep (Chi, chi, chi-baba)

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
An chi-lawa, kook-a la goombah (La goombah)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
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, chihuahua
An chi-lawa, kook-a la goombah (La, la goombah, chihuahua)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
My bambino go to sleep
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chihuahua
My bambino go to sleep
