Lyrics
Wouldn’t anybody care to meet
A sweet old fashioned girl?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Doesn’t anybody care about
A sweet old fashioned pearl?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Who’s a frantic little bopper
In some sloppy socks
Just a crazy rockin’ 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?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Wouldn’t anybody like to take
A nice old fashioned walk?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Take a walk around the corner
Where the cats all stop
Where you dig the juicy ribs
And then you dance that bop
Wouldn’t anybody like to take
A nice old fashioned walk?
Skoo-bee doo, Skoo-bee doo
We can bop on a bicycle built for two
Scoo-bee die, Skoo-bee die
You’ll get your kicks if you give us a try
Wouldn’t anybody care to meet
A sweet old fashioned miss?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Wouldn’t anybody like to kiss
A sweet old fashioned kiss?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
You’ll just flip your little wig
Because we’ll bet you son
That you’ll really dig the flavor
Of our bubble gum
Wouldn’t anybody care to meet
A sweet old fashioned miss?
Wouldn’t anybody care to meet
A sweet old fashioned girl?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Doesn’t anybody care about
A sweet old fashioned pearl?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Who’s a frantic little bopper
In some sloppy socks
Just a crazy rockin’ 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?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Wouldn’t anybody like to take
A nice old fashioned walk?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Take a walk around the corner
Where the cats all stop
Where you dig the juicy ribs
And then you dance that bop
Wouldn’t anybody like to take
A nice old fashioned walk?
Skoo-bee doo, Skoo-bee doo
We went out to that house
Where the lights are blue
Scoo-bee die, Scoo-bee die
Tho’ we went waltzin’ in
We went boppin’ goodbye
Wouldn’t anybody care to meet
A sweet old fashioned girl?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Doesn’t anybody care about
A sweet old fashioned pearl?
Skoob-el-ee doo-bee-dum
Who’s a frantic little bopper
In some sloppy socks
Just a crazy rockin’ rollin’
Little goldilocks
Wouldn’t anybody care to meet
A sweet old fashioned girl?
