The Shangri-Las - Sophisticated Boom Boom

I Was walkin` down the street,
And it was gettin` mighty late.
Well, the truth of the matter is,
This poor girl had been abandoned by her date.
When, from out of nowhere,
Came this music loud and clear.
Let me see, from over there
No, from over there
Over there
Yeah
Well, I open up the door,
And much to my surprise,
The girls were wearin` formals,
And the boys were wearin` ties.
And I feel that I should mention,
That the band was at attention.
They just stood there, oh, so neat,
While they played their swingin` beat.
So I grabbed this little boy,
Who came struttin` `cross the room,
And I say, What`s that
And he say,
Sohisticated boom, boom.
It`s been long overdue,
Sophisticated boom, boom.
We been nee`in` somethin` new,
Sophisticated boom, boom.
Now stand up straight and tall,
Like your back`s against the wall.
Take two steps forward,Boom, boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom And shake your hips.
Boom, boom
It`s been long overdue,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh, yeah
That`s not very sophisticated
Sophisticated boom, boom
We been needin` somethin` new,
Yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
I do think she`s blowin` her cool
Sophisticated boom, boom
Now stand up straight and tall,
Like your back`s against the wall.
Take two steps forward, One-two, forward
Boom-boom, boom-boom Now shake your hips.
Boom, boom
