This is a variation of their earlier 1962 song “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow”, which, together with their 1963 single “Bird is the Word” would serve as the blueprints for the Trashmen’s hit “Surfin' Bird”.
Papa had a sound going through the land
He finally found himself a woman who could understand
But when you block everything you know how
Then you gon' see Mama Oom Mow Mow
Mama Oom
Mama Oom Mow Mow
They got a thing goin' and about to grow
How big it'll get we'll never, never know
They talk like folks from outer space
I never heard nothing like it in the human race
Mama Oom
Mama Oom Mow Mow
And a little little little bit I know
That Papa Oom Mow Mow had a Mammy, oh
Everywhere he'd go she was by his side
They had the kind of love you could never hide
Papa Ooh
And Mama Oom Mow Mow
