Lyrictext

(Papapapapa-oom-mow-mow
A papa-oom-mow-mow
A papa-oom-mow-mow-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)

Funniest sound I ever heard
And I can't understand a single word
Well, if he's serious or is he's playin'
Oom-mow-mow is all he's sayin

Papa-hooo
Papa-papa-papa-hooo
(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)

I said hey there, partner, what's your name?
Now don't you dare tell me the same old thing
The words you sang I can't figure out
But you've got a sound make me stomp and shout

Papa-hooo
Papa-papa-papa-hooo
(Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot) (A papa-oom-mow-mow a papa-oom-mow-mow)
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot) (A papa-oom-mow-mow a papa-oom-mow-mow)

(Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)

(A papa-papa-papa-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)

Well, I hear this sound everywhere I go
On the record, TV and the radio
And now it's spreadin' all over the land
I still can't seem to understand

Papa-hooo
Papa-papa-papa-hooo
Papa-papa-papa-hooo (Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)
Papa-papa-papa-hooo (Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)

Papa-papa-papa-hooo (Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)
Papa-papa-papa-hooo (Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)
Papa-papa-papa-hooo (Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)
Papa-papa-papa-hooo! (Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot)
