Where's everybody running
Look at everybody go, go-go-go
Somebody please tell me, what's all the rush
But tell you Babalu's getting married, what you say?
Babalu's getting married, that cheap skate
Hear the church bells ringing-ding dong
All the people are signing's, hay, hay
And the bride is waiting, wait wait
Hear them all celebrating, so gay
But he ain't the money, oh oh
Babalu's wedding day

Some people think it's funny
Some people think it's true, true, true, true
Babalu's getting married, what will he do?

He met his woman at a baseball game
Playing second base for the Milwaukee Braves
Husky Babalina was her name
Asked her for an autograph and made a date
Babalu, Babalu, Babalu's wedding day

He had a friend who lived at the corner
He thought Babalu was a gone-er
From his friend he tried to borrow a dime
So he could get to church in time
Babalu, Babalu, Babalu's wedding day

He had a monkey tied on a string
An organ grinder that he played
Counting the money at the end of the day
The monkey took the money and he ran away
Babalu, Babalu, Babalu's wedding day

Babalu, Babalu, Babalu's wedding day
Babalu, Babalu, Babalu's wedding day
