Verse 1:
            A              E
As I walked down to Bishop Street
                             A
I met a girl with a smile so sweet
                              D
Now she was young and pretty, too
         A N.C.                    E N.C.                        A
And on a string, she walked with a thing called a Flooby Dooby Doo

Verse 2:
                     A                E
Oh, a Flooby Dooby Doo, now what is that?
                                A
It ain't no dog and it ain't no cat
                                 D
It's nine feet tall with eyes of blue
        A N.C.                 E N.C.                        A
I never seen such a thing as a thing called a Flooby Dooby Doo

Verse 3:
           A                     E
It had one tooth and five purple toes
                                 A
Sixteen elbows and a twelve foot nose
                            D
You'll never see one in the zoo
         A N.C.                  E N.C.                         A
I mean a thing like a thing on a string called a Flooby Dooby Doo

Verse 4:
            A                    E
I told that girl "lemme take you home
                     A
And maybe we can be alone"
                                   D
She said "I'd love to go home with you
                A N.C.              E N.C.                         A
But I'd have to bring my thing on a string called a Flooby Dooby Doo."

Verse 5:
                 A              E
Well, I took her home that very night
                                   A
We talked a while and I dimmed the light
                                       D
She cuddled close and the next thing I knew
                   A N.C.       E N.C.                             A
Just as soon as it seen us in between us jumped the Flooby Dooby Doo!

Verse 6:
F             Bb                   F
It stayed all night. It stayed all year
                        Bb
I never got to hold her near
                                     Eb
I said "sweet baby, I wanna cling to you
              Bb N.C.               F N.C.                         Bb
But you wanna cling to a thing on a string called a Flooby Dooby Doo"

Verse 7:
                     Bb               F
Oh, a Flooby Dooby Doo. Now what is that?
                                                 Bb
It ain't no dog, it ain't no cow and it ain't no cat
                                 Eb
It's nine feet tall with eyes of blue
               Bb N.C.                 F N.C.                         Bb
You just can't swing with a thing on a string called a Flooby Dooby Doo

Verse 8:
                    Bb                   F
Well, she cried and cried, she wiped her eye
                                 Bb
She said "farewell, so long, goodbye
                             Eb
For though I love you, yes I do
          Bb N.C.              F N.C.                      Bb
I can't reveal the love that I feel for the Flooby Dooby Doo!"

Verse 9:
        Bb         F
I never see her anymore
                         Bb
She never knocks upon my door
                          Eb
And every night alone and blue
            Bb N.C.
I sit and I swing about a string on a thing
                   Bb N.C.
I mean I sit and I think about a swing on a thing
                   Bb N.C.                 F N.C.                       Bb
I mean I sit and I sing about a thing on a string called a Flooby Dooby Doo!
