Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
Well, she's the gal in the red blue jeans
She's the queen of all the teens
She's the woman that I know
She's the woman that loves me so.
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll. (Let's rock)
She's the woman that's got that beat
She's the woman with the flyin' feet
She's the woman walks around the store
She's the woman that more, more, more,
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe




Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll. (Let's rock again)
Ch: Be bop a lula...
