Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba (My Bambino Go to Sleep) 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 singChi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleepChi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleepAll 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 youOh, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleepChi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba
Chi-baba, chi-wawa, an' chi-lawaChi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleepChi, chi, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleepAll 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 sweetlyChi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
