Highway 101 – Bing Bang Boom lyrics

"Bing Bang Boom" by Highway 101 (Hugh Priestwood)

Gather around me and lend an ear
'Cause I got somethin' you ought to hear
I'm tellin' you that you ought to fear
A certain kind of love
Now it can strike in the day or night
And just as quick as a rattler's bite
You've got a case of love at first sight
And it's what you're dyin' of

It's just bing bang boom, one two three
You're feelin' normal as you can be
And then bing bang boom, lickety split
It doesn't come on bit by bit
It gets instantly in full swing
And it's bing bang boom

Now I was foot loose and fancy free
I had respect, I had dignity
Then this thing gotta hold 'a me
And it still will not let go
I walked in, and my heartbeat jumped
My hair stood up, and my skin goose-bumped
My mind went blank, and my iq slumped
And my judgment hit the road

It was bing bang boom, one two three
I fell the second he looked at me
It was bing bang boom, lickety split
It didn't come on bit by bit
It was instantly in full swing
It was bing bang boom

And now my obligations slide
I do not even care
And I spend all my wakin' hours
Walkin' on thin air
So friends, you'd best beware

'Cause that's exactly how you'll behave
If you get hit with this tidal wave
And you won't even have time to save
Your sinkin' sanity

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

Bing bang boom
Bing bang boom
Bing bang boom
It gets instantly in full swing
And it's bing bang boom
