Scoobidy-dooby doo, be-doo, be-doo-be-dooby-doo!

Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Doesn't anybody care about a sweet old-fashioned pearl?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Who's a frantic little bopper in some snappy socks,
Just a crazy rock 'n' rollin' little Goldilocks!
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?

Doesn't anybody care to hear some sweet old-fashioned talk?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Wouldn't anybody like to take a nice old-fashioned walk?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Take a walk around the corner where the cats all stop,
Where you dig the juicy ribs and then you'll dance that bop!
Wouldn't anybody like to take a nice old-fashioned walk?

A-scooby-doo!  A-scooby-doo!
We can bop on a bicycle built for two!
Scooby-die!  Scooby-die!
You'll get your kicks if you give us a try!

Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned miss?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Wouldn't anybody like to kiss a sweet old-fashioned kiss?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
You'll just flip your little wig because we'll bet you, son,
That you'll really dig the flavour of our bubble gum!
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?

A-scooby-doo!  A-scooby-doo!
We went out to that house where the lights are blue!
Scooby-die!  Scooby-die!
Though we went waltzin' we went boppin' goodbye!

Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Doesn't anybody care about a sweet old-fashioned pearl?
Scoobidy-dooby-dum!
Who's a frantic little bopper in some snappy socks,
Just a crazy rock 'n' rollin' little Goldilocks!
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned,
Scoobidy-dooby-dooby-dooby-doo?
Rock!
