Bebot Lyrics

[Hook]
Bebot, bebot, beb
Bebot, bebot, beb
Bebot, bebot, beb
Ikaw ang aking
Bebot, bebot, beb
Bebot, bebot, beb
Bebot, bebot, beb
Ikaw ang aking
Bebot, bebot, beb
Bebot, bebot, beb
Bebot, bebot, beb
Ikaw ay Filipino, Filipino
Filipino, Filipino


[Verse 1]
Hoy pare, pakinggan niyo 'ko
'Eto na'ng tunay na Filipino
Galing sa bario, sapang bato
Pumunta ng L.A. nagtrabaho
Para makatulong sa nanay

Dahil sa hirap ng buhay
Pero masaya pa rin ang kulay
'Pag kumain, nagkakamay
'Yung kanin, chicken adobo
'Yung balot, binebenta sa kanto
Tagay mo na nga ang baso
Pare ko, inuman na tayo!
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Masdan mo ang magagandang dalaga
Nakakagigil ang beauty mo talaga
Lambinging 'di nakakasawa
Ikaw lang ang gustong makasama
'Yung bahay o kubo, pag-ibig mo ay totoo
Puso ko'y laging kumikibo
Wala kang katulad sa mundo (c'mon)
Pinoy ka, sigaw na, sige!
Kung maganda ka, sigaw na, sige
Kung buhay mo'y mahalaga, sige
Salamat sa 'yong suporta
[Verse 3]
Pinoy ka sigaw na, sige
Kung maganda ka, sigaw na, sige
Kung buhay mo'y mahalaga, sige
Salamat sa'yong suporta, sige!
Pinoy ka, sigaw na, sige!
Kung maganda ka, sigaw na, sige
Kung buhay mo'y mahalaga, sige
Salamat sa'yong suporta

About

Genius Annotation

“Bebot” is a song from The Black Eyed Peas' 2005 album Monkey Business. The title came from a Filipino slang word analogous to “babe” (playing the English slang term for “hot chick”). Two music videos were shot and released independently in 2006.

Despite the music video being shot, “Bebot” was not released as a single in the U.S, but was released in the Philippines, wider Asia and Australia on August 4th 2006. The song featured on the Ugly Betty episode Swag, where Oshi, a famous Japanese modeling agent is seen with one of his escorts holding a boom box with the song playing.

MTV ran a story about the video on their website, as well as a behind-the-scenes vignette on their MTV News television programming. Contrary to the claims made by Ginelsa, the story claims the video was funded by The Black Eyed Peas. Filipino American DJ E-Man, who serves as assistant program director and music director for radio station KPWR in Los Angeles, also details a conversation he had in passing with label executives regarding the video which was met with little enthusiasm.

Also, in January, BBC Radio featured this song.
CPDRC inmates have done a dance to this song.
