G

[Verse 1]
G
Many a year ago in old Sorrento
          D                   G
A certain ditty was quite the thing
           G
Whenever a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento
            B7                D    D7
This little ditty she used to sing


[Chorus]
    G         D         G
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
        D              G
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
    G         D         G
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
      D          G
My bambino go to sleep

    G         D         G
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
        D              G
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
    G         D         G
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
      D          G
My bambino go to sleep



[Verse 2]
Em                B7           Em               B7
All the stars are in the skies ready to say goodnight
Em                 B7             Em
Can't you see your doll is sleepy too?
G                 D            G                  D
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
A                 A7         D
While she sings a lullaby to you
