A song I rediscovered tonight, after 30-31 years of not having heard it.
I heard this song when I was a boy, and never again, until today. Sunday, I heard 甄妮 sing the Mandarin version of this song and I was reminded of it again today when I hummed the song, so I decided to look it up, and to my surprise, found the original version!
Bahama Mama by Boney M, 1979 Bahama, bahama mama Got the biggest house in town bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama But her trouble's getting down bahama mama She has six daughters And not one of them is married yet And she's looking high and low And none of them plays ever hard to get So if you're lonesome go there go Bahama, bahama mama You should all be looking for bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama And I'm sure you will adore bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama Got the biggest house in town bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama But her trouble's getting down bahama mama You'll meet her daughters They 'll be treatin' you to honeycake They'll be sweet and nice to you And maybe there is one you'd like to take Well then you'll know just what to do Bahama, bahama mama She is really in a fix bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama Being stuck with all them six bahama mama What's the matter with men today Six beautiful roses And nobody to pluck them It's a crying shame Bahama, bahama mama Got the biggest house in town bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama But her trouble's getting down bahama mama The thing is each of them looks Like a gorgeous movie queen Every one a perfect find And if a man refused that temptin' scene He simply can't make up his mind Bahama, bahama mama Got the biggest house in town bahama mama Bahama, bahama mama But her trouble's getting down bahama mama
