Life could be a dream
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay (sh-boom)
Life could be a dream
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
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay (sh-boom)
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay (sh-boom)
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
Every time I look at you
Something is on my mind (dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-duh)
If you do what I want you to
Baby, we'd be so fine
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 (sh-boom)
Ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay
Life could be a dream
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

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 (sh-boom)
Ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay

The song "Sh-Boom" by The Chords, which was later covered by EggCream, is an upbeat tune about dreaming of a perfect life with a loved one. The lyrics convey the desire for a utopian existence with the person they love in a place like paradise. The lyrics express a profound yearning for a peaceful life with the one they love, and the idea that all of their dreams could come true with that person by their side. The singers suggest that a perfect life could be within reach if only they could take their partner to paradise and be told that they are the only one that their partner loves. The song's use of repetition in the chorus, "boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay" emphasizes the singer's wishful thinking and longing for something better.
