As I walked down to Bishop Street,I met a girl with a smile so sweet.Now she was young and pretty, too.And on a string, she walkedWith a thing called a Floobie Doobie Doo.Oh, a Floobie Doobie Doo. Now what is that?It ain't no dog and it ain't no cat.It's nine feet tall with eyes of blue.I never seen such a thingAs a thing called a Floobie Doobie Doo.It had one tooth and five purple toes,Sixteen elbows and a twelve foot nose.You'll never see one in the zoo.I mean a thing like a thingOn a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo .I told that girl Lemme take you home . . .And maybe we can be alone. ( Ha - ha Ha - ha )She said, I'd love to go home with you,But I'd have to bring my thingOn a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo.Well, I took her home that very night.We talked a while and I dimmed the light.She cuddled close and the next thing I knew.Just as soon as it seen usIn between us jumped the Floobie Doobie Doo!It stayed all night. It stayed all year.I never got to hold her near.I said Sweet Baby - I wanna cling to you,But you wanna cling to a thingOn a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo.Oh, a Floobie Doobie Doo. Now what is that?It ain't no dog, it ain't no cow and it ain't no cat.It's nine feet tall with eyes of blue.You just can't swing with a thingOn a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo.Well, she cried a cry. She wiped her eye.She said, Farewell… so long… goodbye.For though I love you …yes I do…I can't reveal the love thatI feel for the Floobie Doobie Doo!I never see her anymore.She never knocks upon my door.And every night alone and blueI sit and I swing about a string on a thingI mean I sit and I think about a swing on a thingI mean I sit and I sing about a thingOn a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo!
