[Chorus]
Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay)
Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay)
[Verse 1]
In the summertime when the sun goes down
The heat starts rising off the ground
My friends and I we gather 'round
We dance and sing to the cu ma la sound
(Cu ma la sound, cu ma la sound)
[Verse 2]
Everybody forms a circle
Now, somebody jumps inside
Jump it, hit it now
You clap your hands, you stamp your feet
You do the jerk to the cu ma la beat
Come on, get it
[Chorus]
Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay)
[Bridge]
Ah cha know-know, know-know be-stay
Ah cha know-know, know-know be-stay
Momma say (Momma say)
Poppa say (Poppa say)
Chubby say (Chubby say)
Hey, hey
[Chorus]
Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay)
Jump, get it
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Everybody forms a circle
Now, somebody jumps inside
Jump it, come on
Clap your hands, you stamp your feet
You do the jerk to the cu ma la beat
Come on, now
[Chorus]
Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay)
[Bridge]
Ah cha know-know, know-know be-stay
Ah cha know-know, know-know be-stay
Momma say (Momma say)
Poppa say (Poppa say)
Chubby say (Chubby say)
You say (We say)
[Chorus]
Pama lama cu ma la
Cu ma la be-stay
(Pama lama cu ma la) Hey!
(Cu ma la be-stay)
