Bum ma lama

Cu ma la

Cu ma la be-stay

In the summertime when the sun goes down

The heat starts rising off the ground

My friends and I we gather round

We dance and sing to the cu ma la sound

Cu ma la sound

Cu ma la sound

Everybody forms a circle

Now somebody jumps inside

Jump it hit it now

You clap your hands

You stamp your feet

You do the jerk

To the cu ma la beat

Come on hit it

Cu ma lama

Cu ma la

Cu ma la be-stay

Cu ma lama

(Instrumental)

Everybody forms a circle

Now somebody jumps inside

Jump it come on

You clap your hands

You stamp your feet

You do the jerk

To the cu ma la beat

Come on
