Oooh-Oh-Boom!

Phrases make songs you'll all agree
In opera, swing and symphony
Some are sweet and some are sad
But here's a new phrase that'll drive you mad

It's not whoa-hodey-ho
It's not hi-hi-de-hi
It's not la-la-de-da
But it's oooh-oh-boom!

It's not vo-do-de-oh
It's not hey-hey-hey-de-hey
It's not va-za-zi-zazz
But it's oooh-oh-boom!

The music goes round the merry go round
The broken record and knock knock
They've all hit the bottom bit
Here's a brand new tune and it goes like this

It's not whoa-hodey-ho
It's not hi-hi-de-hi
It's not la-la-de-da
But it's oooh-oh-boom!
