Barbara Ann (Beach Boys cover)

The Who

Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann (take my hand)
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a-reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann (take my hand)
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a-reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

I went to a dance
Looking for romance
Saw Barbara Ann
So I thought I'd take a chance
Barbara Ann, take my hand
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

(Hit me, hit me)

(I like it, I like it)

(Arriba, arriba)

Tried Mary Lou
Tried Peggy Sue
Tried Betty too
But she really wouldn't, do
Barbara Ann ba ba ba ba
Barbara Ann ba ba ba ba
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann (take my hand)
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann (oh, Barbara Ann)
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann (take my hand)
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

    This song is great, love to sing it at random times, like during tests! Then I get in trouble, but it's okay. And then there's this girl that was talking about the origin of the name Barbara and I started singing. It's a very fun song to sing.

    This song was originally released on a EP called "Ready, Steady, Who!". The name parodied the Birtish TV Pop Show called "Ready, Steady, Go!". The EP featured another two similar covers: "Batman" and "Bucket T". The full EP can now be found on the remastered version of "A Quick One".
