"Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba (My Bambino Go to Sleep)" is a popular song written by Mack David, Jerry Livingston, and Al Hoffman, and published in 1947. [1]
The lyrics are intended to sound like Italian non-sense, cooed to a baby as a lullaby. [2]
The song was popularized by Perry Como in 1947. The recording was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-2259. The record first reached the Billboard charts on May 30, 1947, and lasted 12 weeks on the chart, peaking at No.1. The flip side of the record, " When You Were Sweet Sixteen", was also a big hit, reaching No.2 on the chart. [3]
