Bim Bam Boom - The El Dorados

Bim Bam Boom

The El Dorados

(Jewel Jones, VEE JAY 211, 1956)

Someone come knocking at my back door
Somewhere along about midnight
Someone come knocking at my back door
Somewhere along about midnight
I wonder, yes I wonder
Yes, I really-really wonder
Who could that someone be

Somewhere along about 11:44
I heard someone knocking at my backdoor
Hurried to the kitchen to look what I could see
Behind a little sleep, I had a fairly good see
Someone come a-knocking at my back door
Just like they did before

She was a foxy little lilah with great big hips
Pretty long hair and ruby red lips
Five feet two and eyes of blue
And knew exactly what to do
She went, bam-bam-bam, boom-boom-boom
Knocking at my back door

No, you're wrong, I had a ring site seet
She great big ears and funny little feet
Six feet two, polkadot blue
And she looked like something from the Brookville Zoo
Bam-bam-bam and a-boom-boom-boom
Knocking at my back door
Bam-bam-boom, yeah, bam-bam-boom
Yeah, bam-bam-boom, yeah, bam-bam-boom
Yeah, bam-bam-bam and a-boom-boom-boom
Knocking at my back door

Six feet two, polkadot blue
She looked like something from the Brookville Zoo
Running wild, tried to smile
Her teeth fell out in a little while
Bam-bam-bam and a-boom-boom-boom
Knocking at my back door

(Bam-a-lam-a-lam... aaaaahh)

Bam-bam-boom, yeah, bam-bam-boom
Yeah, bam-bam-boom, yeah, bam-bam-boom
Yeah, bam-bam-bam and a-boom-boom-boom
Knocking at my back door
Oooooh...
