ITALIAN LULLABY
Original song believed to be sung by
Dean Martin (circa 1950s)
Correct title -- Unknown
Many a year ago in old Sorrento,
A little ditty was quite the thing.
Whenever a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento,
This little ditty, she used to sing....
Cha baba, cha baba, Chihuahua, enchilada cucalagunga,
Cha baba, cha baba, Chihuahua, my bambino, go to sleep.
All the stars are in the sky ready to say goodnight, goodnight.
Can't you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes. Mama will hold you tight,
While she sings this lullaby to you.... Ever so sweet.
Cha baba, cha baba, Chihuahua, enchilada cucalagunga,
Cha baba, cha baba, Chihuahua, my bambino go to sleep.
Cha baba, cha baba, Chihuahua, my bambino go to sleep.
