Ba Ba Boom Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody get ready
It's time to rocksteady
It's ba-ba-boom, yes, it is
Don't lose the beat, now
Just dip your head, now
It's festival fire, listen here
(You hear the people saying)

[Chorus]
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom

[Verse 2]
People are dancing, teenagers romancing
It's ba-ba-boom time, listen here
Freddie, get ready
Come do the rocksteady
It's ba-ba-boom time, listen here
(You hear the people saying)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom

[Verse 3]
People are dancing, teenagers romancing
It's ba-ba-boom time, listen here
Freddie, get ready
Come do the rocksteady
It's festival fire, listen here
(You hear the children saying)

[Chorus]
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
