Oo ba Ia baby, he's my Joe
Oo ba la baby, love him so
Oo ba la baby, never—never—never let me go
Dancin' at a party when Joe walked in
I came with Pete but I left with him
Oo ba la baby, he's my Joe
Oo ba la baby, love him so
Oo ba la baby, never-never-never let me go
Young fifteen, I love my Joe
Sweet sixteen, I let him know
Seventeen, he got the clue
Now at eighteen, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, oo ba la baby, he's my Joe
Oo oa la baby, love him so
Oo ba la baby, never-never-never let me go
He's got charm, he's got class
And all the women love him, oh yes-yes-yes
Oo ba la baby, he' s my Joe
Oo ba Ia baby, love him so
Oo ba la baby, never-never-never let me go
I love to love, but just for Joe
When I'm with him we go-go-go
Oo ba la baby (he's her Joe)
Oo ba Ia baby (love her so)
Oo ba la baby, never-never-never let me go
(0o ba la baby) he's my Joe
(0o ba la baby) love him so
(0o ba Ia baby) never-never-never let me go
