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!!!
