Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Babalu

Babalu

Babalu

Babalu, aye

Babalu, aye

Babalu

Jungle drums were badly beating

In the glare of eerie lights

While the natives kept repeating

Ancient jungle rites

All at once

The dusky warriors began to

Raise their arms to skies above

A native stepped forward to chant

To his voodoo goddess of love

Ah

Great Babalu

I'm so lost and forsaken

Ah, great Babalu
