Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, in the place to be
Chipmunks on the M-I-C
Witch doctor
Everybody can they do it
(Can they do it)
Come on people let's get to it
(Let's get to it)
Come on shake, come on roll
Everybody hit the floor
Come on shake, come on roll
With the chipmunks here we go

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me too
And then the witch doctor he told me what to do, he said that

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang

Yo dj pump this party

Everybody can they do it

Come on people let's get to it
(Let's get to it) (go go go go)
Come on shake, come on roll
Everybody hit the floor
Come on shake, come on roll
With the chipmunks here we go
Alvin, Simon, Theodore

I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice
And then the witch doctor he gave me this advice, he said to

Ooh eeh (yeah) come on ooh aah

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang

Ya you've been keeping love from me
And that's not very smart (not very smart)
So I went out and found myself
Someone who'd tell me how to win your heart

My friend the witch doctor he told me what to say
My friend the witch doctor he told me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you, whoa whoa, oh baby baby

Everybody can they do it (can they do it)(go go go go)
Come on people let's get to it (let's get to it) (go go go go)
Come on shake, come on roll
Everybody hit the floor
Come on shake, come on roll
With the chipmunks here we go

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the walla walla bingbang

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the walla walla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang
