Lyrics
(Vs.1)I will take myself on a walk today through the Zooby-Dooby Woods on a holiday. Oh, the sun is shining and it's time to play. It's a zooby-dooby-dooby kind of day! (Vs.2) Oh, the clouds are gone and they are far away. You can easily see it's a zooby-dooby day. I will find my friends and bring them out to play. It's a zooby-dooby-dooby-dooby, zooby-dooby day! (Chorus): Sha-na-na-na, la boop zooby-dooby. Sha-na-na-na, a zooby-dooby day. Sha-na-na-na, la boop zooby-dooby. It's a zooby-dooby-dooby-dooby, zooby-dooby day! (3rd verse): Now the birds are singing and the skies are blue. All my friends are here. You can come along too. It is time for fun. You can come along too. It is time for fun and there's a lot to do. It's a zooby-dooby-dooby kind of day. (Repeat Chorus)
(Vs. 4) We can hide and seek in the woods today. There's no time for work. It's a holiday. Leave your cares behind, and come with me I say. It's a zooby-dooby-dooby-dooby, zooby-dooby day! (Chorus)
