Babu, babu, babaya
Babu babu babaya
People see me acting strange
They might think it's a burning shame
But the people don't realize the
pains of health that I feel
So let them say I'm mad,
they don't know how it feels to be sad
I don't know who could be
glad in a situation like this
My last shirt's grown off my back,
but that's not quite the fact
My shoe is down to my socks
No place to lay my head
Don't even own a bed
I can't remember when I'm in bed
They don't seem to realize
What really keeps me alive
It's the power that's so great
That no man can destroy
They like to understand
Just where I get my helping hand
So they criticize
While I look and live
Babu babu bababa
Babu babu bababa ya
Babu babu bababa ya
Babu babu bababa ya
People see me acting strange, they might think it's a burden,
shame, but the people don't
realize the pain, the pain that I feel.
So let them say I'm mad,
they don't know how it feels to be sad
Don't know who could be glad
in a situation like this
My last shirt's torn off my back,
but that's not quite the fact
My shoe is down to my sock
Lord, no place to lay my head
I don't even own a bed
I can't re member when
I've eaten bread
It's true
Ba -bu -ba -bu -ba -ba -ya
Ba -bu -ba -bu -ba -ba -ya
