Intro:
(Shut that door)
(clapping)
(Cross the floor) ha-ha

(whistling & guitar solo)

Hey girl!
When ya' swish and sway
In your yellow dress
'Cross the crowded room
Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom

Hey girl!
Freckles on your arm
Freckles on your face
Can't we find a place
In a crowded room, we go

Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom)
Boom (chicka-boom, chicka-boom-boom)
Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-boom)

A-hey, girl!
I'm goin' away
But I'm comin' back
With a ginger cat
What'd ya think a-that'

Hey girl!
I'm goin' away
But I'm comin' back
By the railroad track
Where the trains go by
And we sat and cry in the gloom
Boom, chicka-boom

(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom)

Hey, girl!
(Chicka-boom, chick-a boom-boom)
When ya' swish and sway
(Chicka, chicka, chicka-boom)
In your yellow dress
'Cross the crowded room, boomÊ

Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom)
Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom)

Chicka-boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka, chicka, chicka, boom)
Chicka-chicka, boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka, chicka boom)

Chick-chicka-boom
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom-boom)
Chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka, chicka, chicka-boom
Chicka, chicka, chicka-boom
