Stan Freberg, Billy May and Toads - Sh-Boom

Life could be a dream, life could be a dream

Alright, hold it, hold it you guys
It's a rhythm and blue number
You gotta be careful
Or somebody liable to understand what you're singing about
You want this to happen? (No)
Well, then you gotta talk unintelligible like me, right Stella?
(You said it)
Okay, you guys want to sell a few records? (Yeah)
Well, then stick some old rags in your mouth and take it from the top, okay?
(Okay)

I don't wanna understand the words now, real mumbly

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Hello hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again (boom-sh-boom)

Hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay
(What'd he say, what'd he say?)
With this song, baby, it don't matter, believe me
Just wise up, huh

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)
If only all my precious plans would come true (sh-boom)
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Come on, mumble, you guys, mumble

Every time I look at you (that's the stuff)
Something is on my mind (dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-duh)
If you do what I want you to, baby

Alright. I distinctly understood a word that time
Just watch it, huh
(Sorry)
You know the rules
I got my eye on you, that's all
Here we go, man
Real monotonous, now

Ohhh, boom
(Who's gotta hang on a ding dong?)
(Who stole alang alang alang alang?)
(All right, just knock off that jazz, huh, Stella)

Sh-boom sh-boom ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom (Come on, mumble, you guys, mumble)
(Not mambo, mumble)

Every time I look at you
Somethin' is on my mind
Baby, we'd be so
Okay, smart aleck, I know your type
You're a troublemaker
We singin' Sh-Boom, right?
Right
Then how come I can understand you?
Well I
What's the matter, man? Don't you dig gibberish?
Sure, but
If it happens again, I'll send you back to Hugo Winterhalter
Okay, you guys, big finish, now, huh
On your marks, get set, mumble

Life could be a dream, sh-boom
If I could take you up in paradise up above, sh-boom
And tell me, darling, I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
(Stella, not you, Stella)
(Hold it, Stella, Stella, Stella)
