Chick-a-boom (1971)    (video)

 

      D

1. Last night I had a crazy dream,

 

    bout a chick in a black bikini,

 

    ah, she looked so good, she couldn't be real,

              E                        A

    she must be a magic genie !

 

                            D

2. But when she disappeared around the corner.

 

    all I saw were three doors and the top of her bikini.

 

    I made it through the first door, there was a party goin' on,

       E                                                          A

    I asked about the chick, but what they said was freaky.

 

                D

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, don't you just love it,

               A                                        D

chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, don't you just love it,

                                                 G

chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, don't you just love it,

                A                                         D

chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom.

 

        D

3. I found the bottom part behind the second door,

 

    which took me to Africa, I presume.

 

    This really far-out cat was screamin' half crazy,

          E                                  A

    "Whomp-bobba-looba-ba-lomp-bam-boom".

 

        D

4. I said, "Hey man, cut that jive,

 

    and tell me where the chick went."

 

    But he looked at me, as spaced as could be,

             E                                   A

    and said these words, but I wonder what he meant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                D

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, don't ya jes’ love it,

               A                                        D

chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, don't you just love it,

                                                 G

chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, don't ya jes’ love it,

                A                                         D

chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom.

 

D                                         - A                     D

    Ah, don't ya jes’ love it,           um hmm, don't ya jes’ love it,

                                                             G

    don't ya love it, don't ya love it, oh yeah, don't ya love it,

A    D

    don't ya jes’ love it now.

 

       D

3. I opened the third door and there she was,

 

    and she whispered so sexy and low ooo !  

 

    I tried to do the same and impress her with my style,

             E                              A

    but why she said this, I'll never know.

 

+ CHORUS (2x) ...
