Lyrics

Bimbo Bimbo where ya gonna go-e-o Bimbo Bimbo whatcha gonna do-e-o Bimbo Bimbo does your mummy know That you're goin' down the road to see a little girl-e-o

Bimbo is a little boy who's got a million friends And every time he passed by they all invite him in He'll clap his hands and sing and dance and talk his baby talk With a hole in his pants and his knees stickin' out he's just big enough to walk Bimbo Bimbo where ya gonna go-e-o...

Bimbo's got two big blue eyes that light up like the stars And the only way to light them up is to buy him candy bars Cracker jacks and bubble gum will start his day off right All the girlies follow him just a begging for a bite Bimbo Bimbo candy on your face-e-o Bimbo Bimbo chewin' on your gum-e-o Bimbo Bimbo when you gonna grow everybody loves your little bitty Bimbio

You never catch him sittin' still he's just the roving kind Although he's just a little boy he's got a grown up mind He's always got a shaggy dog a pulling out his clothes And everybody calls to him as down the street he goes Bimbo Bimbo where ya gonna go-e-o... Bimbo Bimbo Bimbo Bimbo
