Sis Boom Bah!

Hey there you loquacious linguists, you!

So, at a Swing Dancing workshop this week-end, we were shown this Jazz Step...I believe it was called the SisBoomBah.
Now, dancing aside, I've heard this term before. Either as SisBoomBah, SasKaboomBah or other phonetically similar versions.

Does anybody recognize the term or know its etymology?
Thanks!
