Boys Lyrics

[Intro]
Okay, I like to do a number now I recorded quite a while ago with those
Other chaps and it's er
When we're ready it's going to go something like this. Anyway, it's called Boys

[Verse 1]
Hey!
I've been told when a boy kiss a girl
Take a trip around the world
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, she say you do. (bop shoo wa)
My girl says when i kiss her lips
She gets the thrill through her fingertips
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, she say you do. (bop shoo wa)

[Chorus]
Well, I talk about boys, (yeah, yeah, boys)
Don't you know I mean boys? (yeah, yeah, boys)
Well, I talk about boys now, (yeah, yeah, boys)
Ah, boys, (yeah, yeah, boys)
Well, I talk about boys now, (yeah, yeah, boys)
What a bundle of joy. (yeah, yeah, boys)
[Verse 2]
Ah, go man! Go man!
My girl says when I kissed her lips
She got a thrill through her fingertips
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, she say you do. (bop shoo wa)

[Chorus][x3]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
