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

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

It don't mean a thing when the lead is singin' Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah" Mr. Bass Man, I'm askin' just one thing: Will you teach me? Yeah, the way you sing? 'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop Mr. Bass Man, I think I'm really with it B-did-did-a-boom-boom, a-boom-boom-b-dit-dit-dit-dit Oh, Mr. Bass Man, now I'm a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop (Scat bass duet between John & bass voice)

It don't mean a thing when the lead is singin' Or when he goes "Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yah" Mr. Bass Man, I'm askin' just one thing: Will you teach me? Yeah, the way you sing? 'Cause Mr. Bass Man, I wanna be a bass man too, d-d-b-bop-a-bop

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
