Shout Bamalama Otis Redding

[Intro]
Bamalama
Let's do the song now one time, Bamalama
Okay, hold it, hold it right there now, ho— hold it, hold it
A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four

[Chorus]
He's down in Alabama
I'm shoutin', "Bamalama"
Way down in Louisiana
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

[Verse 1]
Lord have mercy on my soul
How many chickens have I stole?
One last night and the night before
I'm going back and tryin' to get ten, eleven more

[Chorus]
I'm startin' to get 'em and I
I love a chicken, baby
Shoutin', "Bamalama"
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down
