  "Sh-dooby-doo-wop"  
   

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...

 

We have been a-travelin'...

We've almost gotten around the world.

We've seen and done so many things,

Across the vast blue skies we've hurled...

 

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...

 

And we're often told we're fortunate,

Even though by now, we realize this.

But still, sometimes we think of home,

Of relatives and friends we miss...

 

Especially -- when it's Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide, and a New Year, too.

Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide, and a New Year, too...

 

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...

 

So, if you're feeling culture shock,

And you miss your home so far away,

Just try and think some happy thoughts.

Remember who was born today!

 

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...

 

Just turn to friends right in the Group,

Who are sitting there right next to you.

You know that they will understand,

And be beside you all the way...

 

Especially -- when it's Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide, and a New Year, too.

Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide, and a New Year, too...

 

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah,

Sh-dooby-doo-wop, sh-dooby-dooby-wo-aa-ah...
