..."Chicka-boom, chicka-rack
Chicka-boom, chicka-rack
Chicka-boom, chicka-rack, she's singin'
Her shooes paddy-wack in front and the back
And her yellow curls go swingin'
Bells just rang, bo-o-o-ing
My eyes lit up and my heart went bang
Her shoes paddy-wack in the front and the back
Chicka-boom, chicka-racky-boom"...

"Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" is a song written by Janice Lee Gwin and Linda Martin and performed by Daddy Dewdrop. It was featured on his 1971 album, Daddy Dewdrop.[2] The lyrics in the verses are spoken, rather than sung.

"Chick-A-Boom" reached number nine on the U.S. Billboard pop chart in 1971.[3] It also reached number five on the Cash Box Top 100.[4]

It was produced by Dick Monda and Don Sciarrotta.[5] Monda produced music for the 1970-71 Filmation animated television series Groovie Goolies, for which the song was originally written and recorded.[6] That version was by the "Rolling Headstones" and was a parody of the Rolling Stones "Girl with the Faraway Eyes." The song makes a reference to Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti". The single ranked number 34 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1971.[7]"...

"Last night I had a crazy dream
About a chick in a black bikini
Oh she looked so good she couldn't be real
So she must be a magic genie
But then she disappeared around a corner
All I saw were three doors and the top of her bikini
I made it through the first door there was a party going on
I asked about the chick but what they said was this

Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom"...

A told B, and B told C

"I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree!"

"Whee!" said D, to E, F, G
