Mr. Bass Man

(Bop-bop-bop)

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
(You mean b-b-bop-p-p-bop bop bop...)
Yeah!

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
(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"
Hey mr. Bass man, I'm askin' just one thing:
Will you teach me? Yeah, will you sing?

'Cause mr. Bass man, I wanna be a bass man too, d-d-b-
Bop-a-bop
(Try this, b-b-bop-p-p-bop bop bop...)
Hey 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
(That's it, b-b-bop-p-p-bop bop bop...)

[Scat bass duet: Johnny & bass voice]

It don't mean a thing....
