Lyrics
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now.

Come on, Scooby-Doo, I see you, pretending you got a sliver. You're not fooling me, 'cause I can see, the way you shake and shiver.

You know we got a mystery to solve, so Scooby-Doo, be ready for your act. Don't hold back!

And, Scooby-Doo, if you come through, you're going to have yourself a Scooby Snack!

That's a fact!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here are you. You're ready and you're willing. If we can count on you, Scooby-Doo, I know we'll catch that villain.
