(Life could be a dream, life could be a dream)
(Whistle....)
All right.  Hold it, hold it you guys
This is a rhythm & blues number
You gotta be careful 
Or somebody liable to understand what you're singing about
You want that to happen
(No.)
Well then you got' talk unintelligible, like me
Right Stella
(You said it!)
OK!  Now... you guys wanna sell a few records
(Yeah!)
Well, then stick some ole rags in your mouth
And take it again from the top. OK?
(OK)
I don't wanna understand the words now ... real mumbly...

Life could be a dream (sh-boom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart
Hello hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again (boom-sh-boom)

Hey nonny ding dong, shalang alang alang alang alang
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay

(Wha'd he say, wha'd he say?)
With this song, baby, it don't matter, believe me
Just wise up - huh

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)
If only all my precious plans would come true (sh-boom)
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream sweetheart

(Whistle...)
Come on, mumble you guys, mumble.

Every time I look at you (that's the stuff)
Something is on my mind (dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-duh)
If you do what I want you to
Baby, 

(Whistle....)
(Alright.  I distinctly understood a word that time)
(Just watch it, huh)
Sorry.
(You know the rules. I got my eye on you - that's all)
(Here we go, man.  Real monotonous, now)

O-o-o-o-o-o-h, Boom
Hey nonny ding dong, shalang alang alang alang alang
(Who's gotta hang on a ding dong?)
(Who stole alang alang alang alang?)
All right, just knock off that jazz, huh, Stella!)

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da, sh-boom

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da
Sh-boom sh-boom (Come on, mumble, you guys, mumble)
(NOT Mambo!!  Mumble!)

Every time I look at you
Somethin' is on my mind 
If you do what I want you to
Baby, we'd be so 

(Whistle....)
(OK smart alek. I know your type.)
(Your a troublemaker. We singin' Sh-Boom, right?)
Right
(Then how come I can unnerstan' you?)
Well I...
(What's the matter, man? Don't you dig gibberish?)
Sure, but...
(If it happens again, I send you back to Hugo Winterhalter)
(OK, you guys.  Big finish, now, huh.)
(On your marks, get set, mumble.)

Life could be a dream, sh-boom
If I could take you up in paradise up above 
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart

Da da da da da da da da da da
(Not you Stella)
Da da da da da da da da da da
(Stella)
Da da da da da da da da da da
(Stella)
