Lyrics
It’s always fair weather
When hepcats get together
And ev’ry time they meet
Here’s the way you’ll hear them greet
Chorus
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, hello Jack
A-hubba-hubba-hubba just got back
Well, a-hubba-hubba-hubba, let’s shoot some breeze
Say what ever happened to the Japanese?
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, ain’t you heard?
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, got the word
I got it from a guy who’s in the know
It was mighty smoky over Tokio
A friend of mine in a “B-twenty nine”
Dropped another load for luck
As he flew away, he was heard to say
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, yuk! yuk!
Well, I got another mission, it’s “O. K.”
And with your kind permission I’ll just say
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, on my way
And I’ll dig you later in the U. S. A.
Chorus
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, just got in
A-hubba-hubba-hubba gimme some skin
Well! you’re lookin’ mighty purty
Miss Curly Locks
You’re the Gravel Gertie with the bobbie sox
A-yah! tah-tah-tah-tah tah you talk big
So you’re the fresh tomatah I can’t dig
Let’s have a heart to heart-a and you’ll decide
I’m a guy what’s really on the Solid side
You know me flat you’re the kind of a cat
Makes me want to blow my top
When I feel this way I can only say
A-hubba-hubba-hubba, mop! mop!
Well, you’re really put together that’s no lie
I’m glad we got together You and I
And if you want a date that’s “entre noot”
Well! I’ll dig you later in my new blue suit
