Yama Yama Man
By Collin Davis & Karl Hoschna, 1908
>From the Broadway show 3 Twins

Verse
Ev'ry little tot at night is afraid of the dark, you know.
Some big Yama man they see, when off to bed they go.
Great big stary eyes you see, so you cover up your head,
But that Yama man is there, standing right beside your bed!

Chorus
Yuama, Yama, Yama man, terrible eyes and a long boney hand.
If you don't watch out he'll get you without a doubt, if he can!
Maybe he's hidin' behind the char, ready to spring out at you unaware!
Run to your Mama cuz' here comes the Yama Yama man!
