Chubby Checker - CU MA LA BE-STAY Lyrics

Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Bum ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Bum ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
In the summertime when the sun goes down
The heat starts rising off the ground
My friends and I we gather round
We dance and sing to the cu ma la sound
Cu ma la sound
Cu ma la sound
Everybody forms a circle
Now somebody jumps inside
Jump it hit it now
You clap your hands
You stamp your feet
You do the jerk
To the cu ma la beat
Come on hit it
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Ar cha know know know be-stay
Ar cha know know know be-stay
Momma say
Momma say
Poppa say
Poppa say
Chubby say
Chubby say
Hey Hey
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Instrumental)
Everybody forms a circle
Now somebody jumps inside
Jump it come on
You clap your hands
You stamp your feet
You do the jerk
To the cu ma la beat
Come on
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Cu ma lama
Cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
Ar cha know know know be-stay

Momma say
