Lyrics

(Oh, I wonder, wonder who, mmbadoo-ooh, who)

"Book of Love" is a rock and roll / doo-wop song, originally by The Monotones. It was written by three members of the group, Warren Davis, George Malone and Charles Patrick. "The Book of Love" peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard pop chart and No. 3 on the R&B chart in 1958. The "boom" part of the song was a result of a kid kicking a ball against the garage while they were rehearsing. It sounded good, so they added it to the song. View wiki
