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, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

All the stars are in the skies ready to say "good night"

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, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chi-baba

Enjilava kooka la goomba (la goomba)

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

(Chi, Chi, Chi-baba)

Chi, Chi, Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba (la goomba)

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

(All the stars are in the skies ready to say "good night, good night")

(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, Chihuahua

Enjilava kooka la goomba (la goomba chi-baba)

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, Chi-baba, Chihuahua

My bambino go to sleep
