Mr. Bassman, you've got that certain somethin'
Mr. Bassman, you set that music thumpin'
To you it's easy when you go "one two three, ba-ba ba-ba ba"

(You mean ba-ba-bomp ba-ba bomp-bomp ba-BOMP-bomp boom-boom-boom)

Mr. Bassman, you're on all the songs
With the boom-boom boom boom and the doo-dah da-doo-dah doo dong
Hey Mr. Bassman, you're the hidden king of rock 'n' roll, ba-ba ba-ba ba

(No no, ba-ba-bomp ba-ba bomp-bomp ba-BOMP-bomp boom-boom-boom)

Oh, it don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'
Or when he goes "Ai-yi yi-yi-yi-yi"
Mr. Bassman, I'll ask you just one thing
Will you teach me, ooh yeah, the way you sing?
'Cause Mr. Bassman, I wanna be a bassman too, ba-ba ba-ba ba

(Try this, ba-ba-bomp ba-ba bomp-bomp ba-BOMP-bomp boom-boom-boom)

Mr. Bassman, I really think I'm with it
With a boom-boom boom boom and the doo-dah da-doo-dah doo dong
Oh, Mr. Bassman, now I'm a bassman too, ba-ba ba-ba ba

(That's it, ba-ba-bomp ba-ba bomp-bomp ba-BOMP-bomp boom-boom-boom)
(Now you)
(With me)

No, it don't mean a thing when the lead is singin'
Or when he goes "Ai-yi yi-yi-yi-yi"
Mr. Bassman, I'm askin' just one thing
Will you teach me, ooh yeah, the way you sing?
'Cause Mr. Bassman, I wanna be a bassman too, ba-ba ba-ba ba

(Try this, ba-ba-bomp ba-ba bomp-bomp ba-BOMP-bomp boom-boom-boom)

Mr. Bassman, I think I'm really with it
Doo-doo doo doo doo-doo, doo-doo doo doo doo-doo doo dong
Oh, Mr. Bassman, now I'm a bassman too, ba-ba ba-ba ba
