  • Talk about my baby
    A little Latin Lupelu
    She's a hot footin' baby
    There ain't no dance she couldn´t do
    She's my groovy little baby
    A little Latin Lupelu

    A Bopa Bopa Lupelu
    A shake it, shake it, shake it, Lupe
    Wahtusi pretty baby
    C'mon and do the who-chee-coo
    Magic love, pretty baby
    A little Latin Lupelu

    And if you wanna do the twist
    The Lupelu can put it down
    If you Wah Wahtusi
    She's the best for miles around
    She's my mash potato baby
    A little Latin Lupelu

    A Bopa Bopa Lupelu
    A shake it, shake it, shake it, Lupe
    Wahtusi pretty baby
    C'mon and do the who-chee-coo
    Magic love, pretty baby
    A little Latin Lupelu

    One, one more time
    A shake it, shake it, shake it Lupe
    Wahtusi pretty baby
    C'mon and do the who-chee-coo
    Magic love, pretty baby
    A little Latin Lupelu

  • Gregg Laughlin from CaliforniaGotta be Hal Blaine on drums.
    Who else sounds like that, right ?
  • Guy Rossi from Merrimac MassI was a junior in high school when I first heard little Latin Lupe Lu and I have been a Righteous fan ever since
  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaMy fav of the guys tunes, am wondering if that is the Wrecking Crew playing on it.
  • Babbling Babette from Tulsa OkI still love this song by the Righteous Brothers. I also love the version by Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels. Mitch was in fine voice on their single 45 rpm. I love how it was arranged. Their version is more of a party song & I love that!! I love the Righteous Bros. for their later hits, especially with Phil Spector.
