Papa Oom Mow Mow: Rockin' R&B and Boss

The Rivingtons Papa Oom Mow Mow: Rockin' R&B and Boss Lyrics
1.The Bird's The Word

THE BIRD'S THE WORD
The Rivingtons

A-well now, everybody's heard about the bird
(x2):
About the bird, the bird, bird bird bird
(this line is backing sung throughout the song)
('Tweet tweet tweet' sung over backing)

Swingin' this dance now to hit the scene
It's got the latest groove & it's really clean
Haven't you heard about the bird?
Don't you know that the bird's the word?

Come on, jump here & get on your knees
& get to flappin' your wings, in the west or the east
Haven't you heard about the bird?
Don't you know that the bird's the word?

Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
(harmonica, followed by sneezing sound)

Well, they're dancin' this bird in the east & the west
Make this dance & you'll look the best
Haven't you heard about the bird?
Don't you know that the bird's the word?

From: Collins Crapo

Swingin' this dance now to hit the scene
It's got the latest groove and it's really clean
Haven't you heard about the bird?
Don't you know that the bird's the word?

Come on, jump here and get on your knees
And get to flappin' your wings in the west or the east
Haven't you heard about the bird?
Don't you know that the bird's the word?

Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird

Well, they're dancin' this bird in the east and the west
Make this dance and you'll look the best
Haven't you heard about the bird?
Don't you know that the bird's the word?

A papa-oom-mow-mow
A papa-oom-mow-mow
A papa-oom-mow-mow
A papa-oom-mow-mow

Funniest sound I ever heard
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

But I can't understand
A single word
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Well, if he's serious
Or if he's playin'
Woo, my, my
It's all he's sayin'

Papa, papa, hoo
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-papa-hoo
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Well, say there pop
Say what's your name?
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Well, don't you come around
And show your face
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

But hearing the sound
I can't figure it out
Oo-wee this sound makes me
Stop and shout

Papa-papa-hoo
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-papa-hoo
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot doot doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
Doot, doot, doot
Doot, doot, doot

A papa-papa-papa-papa
(Oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
Doot, doot, doot

Well, I hear this sound
Everywhere I go
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

From the record, TV
Or the radio
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

But now it's spreadin'
All through the land
I still can't seem
To understand

Papa-papa-hoo
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(Apapa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-papa-hoo
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-hoo
Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-papa-hoo
Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-hoo
Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)

Papa-papa-papa-hoo
Doot, doot, doot
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
(A papa-oom-mow-mow)
