A fast accordeon-driven polka, song about a topic kids find more fascinating than adults.
lyrics
Bahbumbum Jan Hauenstein
(Am) (F) (E) (Am)
Hey, here comes Mr. (Dm)Bahbum,
He is as (E)nice a man as they (Am)come.
He (F)has a Bahbum(C)bum,
(G)Hear him (Am)happily hum,
(E)Hear him happily (Am)hum. (F) (G)
The (Am)Bahbumbum, that’s right,
Fits ev’ry (F)toilet seat worldwide,
But (G)once that was not quite (Am)true,
And a loud (F)CRASH! (G)came from the (Am)loo!
Mr. (F)Bahbum burst forth from the (Am)crapper,
(E) Looking less than (Am)dapper,
Mr. (F)Bahbum burst forth from the (Am)crapper,
(E)Looking a lot less than (Am)dapper. (F) (G)
No (Am)laughing matter, it’s true,
Was that (F)mishap on the (Am)loo.
But then, what can one do?
Listen (E)up, everyone, you (Am)oughta
Use a (F)bucketful of warm (E)water,
And a (Am)lot of toilet tissues too,
And a (E)lot of toilet (E7)tissues (Am)too. (F) (G)
Hey, (Am)there goes Mr. (Dm)Bahbum,
He (E)is as nice a man (Am)as they come.
He (F)has a Bahbum(C)bum,
(G)Hear him happily (Am)hum.
But when a (F)toilet seat seems to be (C)awry, a little bit,
Mr (G)Bahbum grumbles (Am)“Shit”,
Mr (F)Bahbum (G)grumbles (Am)“Shit!” (F) (E) (Am) (E) (Am)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
