Sh Boom Sh Boom
The Crew Cuts Lyrics

(Hey nonny ding dong, alang, alang, alang Boom ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay)
This is just an intro, a catchy series of sounds that set the mood for the song

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
The singer expresses his daydream of taking his loved one to a magical paradise and winning her heart. He longs for a life of love and happiness, hoping his dream will come true.

(Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again) 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
The singer is hopeful that he will meet his love again, and sings that if his dreams come true, he would spend his whole life loving her. He knows that he needs his sweetheart's reciprocation to make his life a dream.

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
The singer confesses that he is constantly thinking about his sweetheart and asks her to do what he wants, so they can be happy together.

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
This is a playful chorus that simply adds catchy sounds and rhythms to the song; it doesn't carry any specific meaning.

Every time I look at you Somethin' is on my mind If you do what I want you to Baby, we'd be so fine
This is similar to an earlier verse, where the singer confesses he can't stop thinking about his sweetheart, and is asking her to do what he wants to make everything work out.

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 singer's hopes and dreams are repeated, just like in the earlier stanzas, showing his deep, almost obsessive love for his sweetheart, and his wish to spend the rest of his life making her happy.

(Hello hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again Boom sh-boom) Hey nonny ding dong, alang, alang, alang Ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay Life could be a dream (Life could be a dream, sweetheart
The song ends repeating catchphrases and singing that life could be a dream if a love is requited. It also reminds the listeners that the song is about the endless hopes and dreams of finding true love.
