Tell me, tell me, what am I? Tell me, what am I?
Am I tempest, stone, or garden green, or city vast?
Speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me, speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me,
Chiki bum chiki chiki bum chiki chiki
Chiki bum chiki chiki bum chiki chiki

The world proclaims me mad, wounded heart, a melody untold.
The world proclaims me mad, wounded heart, a melody untold.
I sing and laugh, I dance to my own tune.
Speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me, speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me,
Chiki bum chiki chiki bum chiki chiki
Chiki bum chiki chiki bum chiki chiki

These ways of mine, a mortal mystery, my heart's true song unheard.
These ways of mine, a mortal mystery, my heart's true song unheard.
I fear, I speak, I converse with my soul alone.
Speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me, speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me,
Chiki bum chiki chiki bum chiki chiki
Chiki bum chiki chiki bum chiki chiki
Tell me, tell me, what am I? Oh, tell me, what am I?
Am I tempest, stone, or garden green, or city vast?
Speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me, speak, speak, speak, speak, tell me.
