   These are the lyrics as sung by John Lee Hooker on his Rhino
"Ultimate Collection," which I believe was his first version.  I
had the tab for the riffs (not too hard) somewhere...

BOOM BOOM
John Lee Hooker

Boom boom boom boom,
(I'm) Gonna shoot you right down.
Right off of your feet.
Take you home with me,
Put you in my house.
Boom boom boom boom.

A-haw haw haw haw
Mmm-hmmm-hmmm-hmmm
Mmm-hmmm-hmmm-hmmm
I love to see you strut
Up and down the floor.
When you talking to me.
That baby talk.
I like it like that.
Whoa!! Yeah!

> solo <

When she walk that walk,
And talk that talk,
And whisper in my ear,
And tell me that you love me.
I love that talk,
When you talk like that.
It knocks me out,
Right off of my feet.
Whoa!!!  Oh, yeah!!

Well, the Yardbirds did a cover of this circa '63 or so.  Their version
is in the Clapton archive.  Not sure how close this is to the original.

  BOOM BOOM  by John Lee Hooker

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
I'm gonna shoot you right down,
Knock you off of your feet,
And take you home with me.
Put you in my house.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love to see you strut
When you're walking to me.
When you're talking to me,
That knocks me out.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
You know I like it like that,
The way you baby-talk,
Oh and the way that you walk.
You know it knocks me right down,
Knocks me off of my feet.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
How, how, how, how.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, now, now, now.
