Gotta girl named Lucinda
They call her the great pretender

They call her the great pretender
And when she talks
She says a Bama Lama Loo

Bama Lama Bama Loo
Well, I dig her style

She shook her head around like this
Well, I asked my little girl for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
She said ....

Well, I asked my little girl for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
I asked my little girl for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
