ON THE NIGHT WE DID THE BOOM BOOM BY THE SEA

as sung by Arthur Fields


I lost my heart in a tropical town,
Dancing around with a maiden of brown.
I lost my pants taking one little chance.
Sailor, beware of that Boom Boom dance.

Oh the sil'vry moon was shining oh the Beach at Waikiki
On the night we did the Boom Boom by the sea.
The Lulu birds were singing in the Coca-ColaŠ tree
On the night we did the Boom Boom by the sea.
I couldn't speak her lingo, 
But Oh By Jingo, 
When I kissed her lips 
I knew then
Why sailor men
Desert their battle ships.
Oh, the coconuts were falling, but they didn't bother me
On the night we did the Boom Boom by the sea.

Sailor, take warning.
Sailor, take care.
Sailor, beware
Of that Boom Boom dance.
