Sing Along with AB's Babies

A recent group of young guys known as AB’s Babies dress up as babies and sing songs about the players. We mentioned last year that we don’t do enough to encourage our players at sporting events. 

Warwick Austin and some of the babies visited us to teach us a few songs that we can sing along to at the stadium while the Proteas are in action.

The babies performed Obladi Oblada Rabada and then taught the team as well as our listeners 'I Love You AB' so we can all sing this together Saturday when they play at Supersport Park.

The lyrics to both songs are below:

Obladi Oblada Rabada (Taken from: Obladi-Oblada – The Beatles)

Hashim buys as curry in the market place

AB is a singer in the band

Steyntjie says to KG ‘Boy I like your pace’

And then he places the ball firmly in his hand

Chorus x2

Obladi oblada Rabada

Ooooh

Raba-daba-Rabada

Vernie heads down to the Kookaburra store

Picks out a new cherry that could swing

Takes it back to KG waiting at the door

And as he gives it to him it begins to swing

Chorus x2

'I love you AB' (Taken from: Can’t take my eyes off you – Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons)

You’re just too good to be true,

Can’t take my eyes off of you;

You’ve got exceptional touch,

That bloke Broad can’t like you too much.

At long last you’ve arrived,

This innings is about to come alive.

You’re just too good to be true,

Can’t take my eyes off of you.

Chorus

I love you AB and if it’s quite alright;

I need you AB to put the ball in flight,

I love you AB, trust in me when I say.

Oh gritty AB, don’t let me down I pray,

Oh gritty AB, now that you’re batting stay.

And let me watch you AB, let me love you

AB's Babies were in action at a recent game, here's a clip of the supporters chanting the songs: 

Here's what went down in studio this morning:

Thank you so much for joining us, guys!
