Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

Black betty had a child (bam-ba-lam)

The damn thing gone wild (bam-ba-lam)

O we worryin' outta mind (bam-ba-lam)

The damn thing gone blind (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now

Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

She really gets me high (bam-ba-lam)

You know that's no lie (bam-ba-lam)

She's so rock steady (bam-ba-lam)

And she's always ready (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Black betty jump steady, black betty are you ready now

Black betty are you ready now

Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

She's from birmingham (bam-ba-lam)

Way down in alabam' (bam-ba-lam)

Well, she's shakin' that thing (bam-ba-lam)

She really makes me sing (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now!

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now!

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady, jump steady

Whoa, black betty, whoa, black betty

Jump steady black betty, jump steady black betty now!
