Lyrics: Sonny Bono
Music: Sonny Bono
I was five, and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up, called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Music played, and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say, "Goodbye"
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Bang bang (Bomb-bomb-bi-da)
Bang bang
Bang bang (Hey)
