A Sweet Old Fashioned Girl
|
Teresa Brewer
|
Written by Bob Merrill
|
|
Peaked at #7 in 1956
|
Teresa Breuer's third-biggest hit of the rock era, released under her stage-name
|
"Teresa Brewer." This song shows the fine line between pop and rock music of the
|
mid-50's, with rock influences popping up in the refrain.
|
|
scoobley-doo-bee-doo
|
be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo
|
|
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?
|
scoobley-dah-doo-bee-dum
|
Wouldn't anybody care about a sweet old-fashioned pearl?
|
scoobley-doo-bee-dum
|
|
Who's a frantic little bopper in some sloppy socks
|
Just a crazy rock'n'roller, little Goldilocks
|
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?
|
|
Doesn't anybody care to hear some sweet old-fashioned talk?
|
a-scoobley-doo-bee-dum
|
Wouldn't anybody like to take a nice old-fashioned walk?
|
scoobley-doo-bee-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?
|
|
scooby-doo. a-scooby-doo, we can bop on a bicycle built for two
|
scooby-die, a-scooby-die, you'll get all your kicks if you'll give us a try
|
|
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned miss?
|
scoobley-doo-bee-dum
|
Wouldn't anybody like to kiss a sweet old-fashioned kiss?
|
scoobley-doo-bee-dum
|
|
You'll just flip your little wig because we'll bet your socks
|
That you'll really dig the flavor 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
|
a-scooby-die, a-scooby-die, you know went waltzin' in , we went
|
boppin' goodbye
|
|
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned girl?
|
a-scoobley-doo-bee-dum
|
Wouldn't anybody care about a sweet old-fashioned pearl?
|
a-scoobley-doo-bee-dum
|
|
Who's a frantic little bopper in some sloppy socks
|
Just a'-crazy rock'n'roller little Goldilocks
|
Wouldn't anybody care to meet a sweet old-fashioned
|
|
scoobledah-doo-bee-doo-be-doo-be-doo
|
AHHH!!!
