Scooby Doo Where Are You
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We got some work to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We need some help from you now.
Come on Scooby-Doo, I see you
pretending you got a sliver
But you're not fooling me, cause I can see,
the way you shake and shiver.
You know we got a mystery to solve,
So Scooby Doo be ready for your act.
Uh-uh Uh-uh
Don't hold back!
And Scooby Doo if you come through
you're going to have yourself a scooby snack!
That's a fact!
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here Are You.
You're ready and you're willing.
If we can count on you Scooby Doo,
I know you'll catch that villian
