the floobie doobie doo - shel silverstein lyrics

Loading...

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 walked
with 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 thing
as 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 thing
on a string called a floobie doobie doo

i told that girl “lemme take you home
and maybe we can be alone”
she said “i’d love to go home with you
but i’d have to bring my thing
on 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 us
in 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 thing
on 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 thing
on 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 that
i feel for the floobie doobie doo!”

i never see her anymore
she never knocks upon my door
and every night alone and blue
i sit and i swing about a string on a thing
i mean i sit and i think about a swing on a thing
i mean i sit and i sing about a thing
on a string called a floobie doobie doo!
