Boom ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay)
Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Live could be a dream, sweetheart
Oh, life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would come true
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
Now every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to
Baby, we'd be so fine
Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

The Crew Cuts's "Sh-Boom" (Life Could Be A Dream) is a popular doo-wop song from the 1950s that captures the spirit of youth, romance, and hopefulness of the era. The lyrics describe a world where love and happiness are abundant, and dreams can become a reality. It's a feel-good song that invites listeners to join in the optimism and excitement of the time.
The opening lines of the song set the stage for the rest of the lyrics. "Oh life could be a dream if I could take you up in paradise up above." This phrase is the main theme of the song and is repeated throughout. It suggests that life can be beautiful, but only if the singer is with the person they love. The chorus refrains continue with the same sentiment: "If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love, life could be a dream, sweetheart."
The verses describe the singer's desire to be with the person they love and how they'd have the perfect life together. The lines "now every time I look at you, something is on my mind, if you do what I want you to, baby, we'd be so fine" convey an assertiveness and determination to make things work while exuding a charming, youthful innocence.
The song's refrain, "sh-boom," is an example of vocal nonsense. It's a common trope in doo-wop music and adds a playful element to the song. The phrase "Hey nonny ding dong, alang, alang, alang " is also nonsense and serves the same purpose of adding a fun element to the song.
Overall, "Sh-Boom" is a fun and joyful song that captures the essence of the 1950s era. It celebrates the possibilities of life and love, the spirit of dreams and hopefulness, and the good times of youth.
