Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!<br />Vamp the little lady, vamp the little lady,<br />Vamp the little lady, vamp the little lady,<br />Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!<br />She will like it, maybe, she will like it, maybe,<br />She will like it, maybe, oh you pretty baby,<br />Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!<br />Make it good and snappy, make it good and snappy,<br />make it good and snappy, make it good and snappy,<br />Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!<br />Guess I got to go now, guess I got to go now,<br />'sev'rybody happy, 'sev'rybody happy, 'sev'rybody happy, sure. Good!
