Dooby dooby dum dum
A couple of words you can put together
Aren't they fun?

Shiddle-ee-dee
Dooby dooby dum dum
Put them together and sing it with me
Sing it out loud, any old key
Nothing in the world can go wrong when you're singing
(Two, three)
Shiddle-ee-dee
Sing it with me
It's as easy as ABC
Sing it out loud!
