Do do do wah shoobie doobie
Do do do wah shoobie doobie

How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seeing must've put you down
So welcome back baby to the poor side of town

To him you were nothing but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
But to me you were the greatest thing I've ever found
And it's hard to find a good thing on the poor side of town

I don't blame you for trying
I've been trying to make it too
But I've got one little hang-up baby
I can't make it without you

So won't you tell me are you gonna stay now
Stand by me all the way now
With you by my side the world can't do us down
And together we can make it out of the poor side of town

Do do do wah shoobie doobie
Do do do wah shoobie doobie
With you by my side the world can't do us down
And together we can make it darling from the poor side of town
The poor side of town
The poor side of town

Oh take my hand
Don't be afraid
Together we can make it darling
From the poor side of town
Shoobie doobie
