Chi-baba, chi-baba ( my bambino go to sleep ) lyrics

Artist  : Perry como 
Song : Chi-baba, chi-baba ( my bambino go to sleep )
 

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, chi-wawa
An` chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An` chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
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, chi-wawa
An` chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!

( Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba,
chi-wawa, and chi-lawa )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An` chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la goombah! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!

( Chi, chi, chi-baba! )
Chi, chi, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An` chi-lawa kook-a la goombah  ( la goombah! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
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, chi-wawa
An` chi-lawa kook-a la goombah  ( la la goombah!
chi-baba! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino . . .  
go to sleep!
