She wants boodie bum bum, boodie bum bum
She wants a boodie and a scoodie thinking she got some
Oh tell me baby, where did you stay last night?
For you come in this morning, sun was shining bright

Oh, the black cat told the white one, let's go 'cross town and clown
I said the black cat told the white one, let's go 'cross town and clown
And that white cat told the black one, you better set your black self down

He wants boodie bum bum, boodie bum bum
He wants a boodie and a scoodie thinking he got some
Tell me baby, where did you get your sugar from?
I haven't had no boodie bum since you been gone

There was Old Lady Dinah, was sitting on a rock
There was Old Lady Dinah, sitting on a rock
And along flew a bumblebee and raised a great big knot

He wants boodie bum bum, boodie bum bum
He wants a boodie and a scoodie thinking he got some
Tell me bumblebee, when did you fly from home?
Oh you ain't done no stinging on the boodie-bum

You know the baby kitten jumped up, oh and began to whine
I said the baby kitten jumped up and began to whine
You know he didn't know the racket, but he had the same thing on his mind

He wants boodie bum bum, boodie bum bum
He wants a boodie and a scoodie thinking he got some
Tell me baby sister, where'd you get your sugar from?
Oh you don't know the racket, you outta go back home

Now it's the boodie bum bum, boodie bum bum
He wants a boodie and a scoodie thinking he got some
Oh tell me mama, what's the matter now?
You don't know how to boodie bum bum, I know you didn't do it nohow
