I'd like to thank the guy who wrote the song,
That made my baby fall in love with me.

Who put the bomp in the
Bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp?
Who put the ram in the
Rama-lama-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the
Bop-she-bop-she-bop?
Who put the dip in the
Dip-de-dip-de-dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand.
He made my baby,
Fall in love with me.
(Yeah!!)

When my baby heard,
"Bomp-bah-bah-bomp, bah-bomp-bah-bomp-bom."
Every word went right into her heart.
And when she heard them singin',
"Rama-lama-lama-lama-lama-ding-dong"
She said we'd never have to part.

So, who put the bomp in the
Bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp?
Who put the ram in the
Rama-lama-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the
Bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop?
Who put the dip in the
Dip-de-dip-de-dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand.
He made my baby
Fall in love with me.
(Yeah!!)

Each time that we're alone,
"Boogity-boogity-boogity-boogity-boogity-boogity-shoo."
Sets my baby's heart all aglow.
And everytime we dance to,
"Dip-de-dip-de-dip, dip-de-dip-de-dip."
She always says she loves me so.

So, who put the bomp in the bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp?
Who put the ram in the rama-lama-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop?
Who put the dip in the dip-de-dip-de-dip?
Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand.
He made my baby fall in love with me.
(Yeah!!)

Darling, "Bomp-bah-bah-bom, bah-bomp-bah-bomp-bah."
And my honey, "Rama-lama-ding-dong, forever."
And when I say, "Dip-de-dip, de-dip, de-dip,"
You know I mean it from the bottom of my
Boogity, boogity, boogity shoo.
(Boogity, boogity, boogity shoo.)
(Wooo-ooo-ooo, oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-ooo)

Bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp,
Rama-lama-ding-dong,

Boogity-boogity-shoo.

Bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp,
Rama-lama-ding-dong,
Dip-de-dip-de-dip,
Boogity-boogity-shoo.

Bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp,
Rama-lama-ding-dong,
Dip-de-dip-de-dip,
Boogity-boogity-shoo.

1Half of the successful writing team of Mann/Weil, songwriter Barry Mann
played an integral part in the success of many songs in the early '60s. Before
becoming a songwriter he also made the charts as a performer, singing the
novelty song "Who Put the Bomp." Mann, along with wife and partner Cynthia
Weil, wrote such classic tunes as "On Broadway," "You've Lost that Lovin'
Feeling" ("the most played song of the 20th century"), and "Uptown." It was
Mann who supplied the majority of the music for these compositions and the duo
continued to provide hits for other artists through the decades. In addition
to his continuing successful collaboration with Weil, Mann has provided
keyboards and production skills to artists such as BJ Thomas and the Pointer
Sisters, and co-wrote Dan Hill's hit "Sometimes When We Touch." In 1987, Mann
was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame and was awarded two Grammys,
including Best Song for "Somewhere Out There."
