Ooga Sha La Bango
Composer(s): Glenn Burtnick; Marshall Crenshaw
Performer(s): The Sides
When I first saw my baby she was dancing hot and fast
But I was in a corner with my leg in a cast
When I met her I impressed her
Said, "I'm a heavy dancin' guy once my leg isn't so broken", even tho it was a lie
She just said
Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah
Koko gris gris gumbo naya
1. And it didn't make no sense
2. I just hope the girl forgets
3. This is all you're gonna get
Well, anyway, I watched her through the night
Then I gave her a ride and we stopped in at a diner
Before I got her home we had fallen in love and it couldn't have felt any finer
My baby likes to boogie to the dancin' sounds. I was born with two left feet
She thinks I can swing to the disco thing but I just can't get it
She keeps saying
Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah
Koko gris gris gumbo naya
1. And it didn't make no sense
2. I just hope the girl forgets
3. This is all you're gonna get
I wanted to keep my cast on longer but the doctor said it was time
Now I watch Soul Train and American Bandstand but I just ain't got no rhythm
I can't keep time
(girl):
What will you say when you learn the day
there's no way you can live to be the man of her dreams
(answer):
I'll just say
Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah
Koko gris gris gumbo naya
1. And it didn't make no sense
2. I just hope the girl forgets
3. This is all you're gonna get
