G  C   D     D-C-G
    Hey girl,
G  C        D               D-C-G
    when ya' swish and sway
G  C        D            D-C-G
    in your yellow dress
G  C           D         D-C-G
    'cross a crowded room,
G  C   D                 D-C-G
        boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom.

Hey girl,
freckles on your arm,
freckles on your face,
can't we find a place
in a crowded room, we go
boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom,
[boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom] (backup singers)
boom,
[chicka-boom, chicka-boom-boom]
boom, boom, boom, chicka-boom.

A-hey, girl,
I'm goin' away,
but I'm comin' back
with a ginger cat.
What ya' think a' that?

Hey girl,
I' goin' away,
but I'm comin back
by the railroad track,
where the trains go by,
and we sit and we cry in the gloom,
boom, chicka-boom,
[chicka-boom, chicka-boom]
[chicka-boom, chicka-boom-boom]

Hey girl,
[chicka-chicka-chicka-boom]
when ya' swish and sway
in your yellow dress
'cross a crowded room,
boom,
