I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend or wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the sun
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
'cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give to ya, world, and then
You'd go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
Don't let the sunshine fall from the sky;
Just find the sunshine in your own mind.
You're a lollipop, no second prize;
An apple somewhere, in somebody's eyes.
Hey girl, whatcha' doing?
Hey girl, where you going?
But _ _ _, _ _ _
She could have fell, fell out of the sky;
She could have fell right out of the sky.
Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
Don't let the moonshine cry up the night.
Duck from your shadow, and make it bright.
You're a lollipop, no second prize;
An apple somewhere, in somebody's eyes.
Hey girl, whatcha' doing?
Hey girl, where you going?
You get down, and make a frown;
She'll come turn, turn, turn it around;
She'll come turn, turn, turn it around
Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
Hey girl. Whatcha' doing?
Hey girl. Where you going?
You get down, and make a frown;
She'll come turn, turn, turn it around;
She'll come turn, turn, turn it around
Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum...
Come One, Come Two, Come All
Everyone Heed the Call
There's A Very Important Thing To Do!
Drop what you're Doing and Come (Ooh, Ohh!)
Bumpity Bumpity Bum (Ooh, Ooh!)
There's A Very Important Thing To Do! (Ooh, Ooh!)
It's Time to Gather 'Round!
The Work has Just Begun!
And When it's Done
Then You'll have Found
That You have Had some Fun!
With a Monumentuous, Consequencuous
