Chicka Boom 1953 Those Redheads From Seattle

It was way up in "Alasker"
and the moment that I passed her
in my heart a little bugle blew "Attack"
Though I knew I should resist her,
I walked up to her and kissed her,
and she didn't slap my face,
she kissed me back.

Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
she's singin'
her shoes pretty whack
in the front and the back
and her yellow curls go swingin'
Bells jes' rang,
my eyes lit up
and my heart went bang!
Her shoes patty whack
in the front and the back
to a boomchickaracky boom!

Told me she was from Seattle
where her father raises cattle,
but she's far away from home
and so forelorn.
Said the Yukon had her freezin'
and it would be mighty pleasin'
if I'd hug her once or twice
to keep her warm.

Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
she's singin'
her shoes pretty whack
in the front and the back
and her yellow curls go swingin'
Bells jes' rang,
my eyes lit up
and my heart went bang!
Her shoes patty whack
in the front and the back
to a boomchickaracky boom!

For her love I'd swim to China,
but I'm not a rich gold miner,
I can't buy her things
like rings and fancy furs,
but I'm still not gonna back up,
gonna paint my little shack up
and I'll tell her if she wants it,
well, it's hers!

Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
Chicka Boom, Chickarack,
she's singin'
her shoes pretty whack
in the front and the back
and her yellow curls go swingin'
Bells jes' rang,
my eyes lit up
and my heart went bang!
Her shoes patty whack
in the front and the back
to a boomchickaracky boom!
