Lyrics

Shoo doop dooby doo
Woo ooo ooo
Shoo doop dooby doo
Oooooo
Shoo doop dooby doo
Ooooo oooo
Shoo doop dooby doo

In the still (shoo doop dooby doo) of the night (shoo doop dooby doo)
I held you (shoo doop dooby doo) held you tight (shoo doop dooby doo)
Cause I (shoo doop dooby doo) really love you (shoo doop dooby doo)
Promise I'll never (shoo doop dooby doo) let you go (shoo doop dooby doo)
In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

I remember (I remember) that night in May (I remember)
The stars were bright (I remember) above (I remember)
I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray (I remember)
To keep your precious love

Well before (shoo doop shooby doo) the dawn's light (shoo doop shooby doo)
Hold me again (shoo doop shooby doo) with all of your might (shoo doop
shooby doo)
In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

I remember (I remember) that night in May (I remember)
The stars were bright (I remember) above (I remember)
I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray (I remember)
To keep your precious love

Well before (shoo doop shooby doo) the dawn's light (shoo doop shooby doo)
Hold me again (shoo doop shooby doo) with all of your might (shoo doop
shooby doo)
In the still of the night (in the still of the night)
In the still of the night

Shoo doop shooby doo
Wooo ooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Ooooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Oooo oooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
In the still of the night
Ooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Wooo ooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Ooooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Oooo oooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
In the still of the night
Ooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
Wooo ooooo
Shoo doop shooby doo
