Who Put the Bomp in the Bomp?

A-wop-bop a-loo-bop A-wop bam boom, A hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, Ob la di, ob la da, Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy, Shamon, Gitchy gitchy ya ya tata, In a gadda da vida, Da doo ron ron ron, Da doo ron ron, De do do do, De da da da, Ba ba bom ba ba bom ba ba dang a dang dang ba ba ding a dong ding, Gunter gliebenglauten globen, Wooly bully, wooly bully, Shoop, shoop, shoop, Shimmy shimmy cocoa what?

Songs. Artistes over the years tried to be creative with nonsensical words, some work, some don’t. Here’s a 60’s tune that summarizes the mumbo jumbo. Much of this song’s lyrics are also included in the GREASE tune, “We Go Together”.

Barry Mann - Who Put the Bomp?

I’d like to thank the guy who wrote the song
That made my baby fall in love with me

Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)

When my baby heard
“Bomp bah bah bomp ”
“Bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp”
Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin’
“Rama lama lama lama”
“Rama ding dong”
She said we’d never have to part
So

Each time that we’re alone
Boogity boogity boogity
Boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby’s heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to
Dip da dip da dip
Dip da dip da dip
She always says she loves me so
So

A Year Ago
