Ooh Shooby Doo Doo Lang Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My name is Sue and I'm a singer
I'm working nearly all the time
On the radio and all the big rock shows
And almost ev'ry record you can buy

[Pre-Chorus]
I know my name don't get a mention
That's 'cause someone else is singing you this song
But it's me that gets the part that goes right to your heart
Yes, I'm the one that keeps it rolling on

[Chorus]
When I go ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
I joined a band from New York City
And at that time I'd never sang before
Didn't have much style, couldn't even smile
When I shooby doo'd they hit the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Some cats say they like to hear the bassman
Others like it sweet and so refined
When you hear my song, you'll want to sing along
Soon you just won't get it off your mind

[Chorus]
When I go ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Bridge]
I've even worked with Stevie Wonder (Happy birthday)
Paul McCartney calls me all the time (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'm sure you must remember (Oh, ohohohoho)
And the time when I sang

[Chorus]
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
Ooh shooby doo doo lang
That's all I ever do

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
