From: Camper-Ted

In the 1950's "The Chords" had a big hit with "Sh-Boom." Their follow-up song was "Zippity Zum." It was not very popular, although it has interesting melody and lyrics. I do own a recording of this song. Does anyone have chords (no pun intended) for this song? I have listed the lyrics below:

ZIPPITY-ZUM

The Chords


A-zippity-zum, a-zum, a-zum, a-zum
A-zippity-zum, a-zum, a-zum, a-zum

Oh oh, we bop, and zippity-hop
I'm as happy as I can be
Oh oh, boom boom, and zippity-zum
Love is sweet, love is grant, it works wonderfully

Oh oh, we bop, and zippity-hop
I'll never be a millionaire
Oh oh, boom boom, and zippity-zum
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I don't care

Silver and gold you could have
All the world be at your feet
But love is my future
For love you can not beat

Oh oh, we bop, and zippity-hop
I'll never be a millionaire
Oh oh, boom boom, and zippity-zum
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I don't care

La la la, da da da
La la la, da da
La la la, la la la
La la la la

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Zum zum
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Zum zum
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Zum zum zum

Oh oh, we bop, and zippity-hop
I'll never be a millionaire
Oh, oh, boom boom, and zippity-zum
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I don't care …

You can hear The Chords singing ZIPPITY ZUM (I'M IN LOVE), from 1954, on this page (or click to play).

I am still looking for the shed music to this song.

Anybody have any idea where I may find it?

Thanks

"After the success of "Sh-Boom", The Chords did more songs that unfortunately didn't measure up to the success of "Sh-Boom". One of those was a song written by Carl Feaster called "Zippity Zum (I'm In Love)". Very much in the same style as "Sh-Boom", it nevertheless failed to make the charts."
