Where Are You?
Shaggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shaggy, woof, Scooby

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We've got some work to do now
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now

Once again, I'm 'onna fall
Once again, I find my back is up against the wall
Will somebody help me? Please hear my call
Or get a message to my dog and we'll be on the ball

'Cause everybody need a friend that they can depend on
Someone who could help them out of a situation
Only a friend alone can understand my pain
If only I could get some message to my Great Dane, Scooby

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We've got some work to do now
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tell me, where are you
(Scooby-Dooby-Dooby-Doo)
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tell me where are you
(Scooby-Dooby-Dooby)

Once again I'm in a jam
Once again I never seem to ever have a plan
You know me I'm in trouble man, can you lend a hand
Right now, I am reachin' out to Scooby and the gang

Sure feels good to find a friend that you can lean on
And they wouldn't leave you if you say you saw a demon
And even though sometimes I am a little, little outta luck
And if I worry much I know my dog has got my back

And I know that even if it means he'd have to fly like a bird
I know he?ll be here for me now and match my word

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We've got some work to do now
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now

Come on, Scooby-Doo
I see you, pretending down to shivers
You're not fooling me 'cause I can see
The way you shake and shiver

Scooby-Dooby-Dooby-Doo, Scooby-Dooby-Dooby

Even if it means he'd have to fly like a bird
I know he?ll be here for me now and match my word

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tell me, where are you
(Scooby-Dooby-Dooby-Doo)
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tell me, where are you
(Scooby)

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We've got some work to do now
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now

Come on, Scooby-Doo
I see you, pretending down to shivers
You're not fooling me 'cause I can see
The way you shake and shiver

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tell me, where are you
(Scooby-Dooby-Dooby-Doo)
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tell me, where are you
(Scooby-Dooby-Dooby)
Scooby





That's right, say, what?

I know this movie isn't perfect, but it really isn't as bad as people say. You can definitely tell everyone put full effort into this, and James Gunn's script at times is great. I love the scene with Scrappy especially (even though there are some out of character moments). Great soundtrack, great script, and great actors that were cast perfectly for their roles. There are some problems. Sometimes the jokes are a little childish (the fart jokes), but luckily there isn't too many in this movie. You can definitely tell they knew this movie was a little silly too. The scene where Fred tells Shaggy that their area of specialty is weirdos in Halloween costumes was especially funny. This movie gets a 4/5 from me. Their are some great scenes in this movie, and they got the perfect actors for these roles. I find that people tend to focus too much on the negatives of this movie and that's probably why they dislike it so much. As for me I can look past those and see the effort put into this movie, which is truly great fun.

CINEMA CORNER I love this movie it defined my childhood 9/10

Halo

I agree, I loved the movie and I get very nostalgic when I watch it

Quiet Demon

Yeah I agree is it a great movie ... no but it’s more or less a faithful interpretation of the source material also it’s just so early 2000’s if that makes sense like the guilty pleasure childhood movies we all grew up with ... ahh good times

Harry Shoemaker

Well let's hope the new animated Scooby Doo movie coming to theaters next year is better than this!

Brandon Hea

These live action Scooby Doo movies are so underrated, they're not perfect but they're definitely not bad, they're honestly pretty amazing

Smooth ST

The First Movie is atrocious
2nd movie was good
Mystery Begins was alright
Curse Of The Lake Monster was decent

Dr. Diamond

@Smooth ST in my opinion the 1st one was good, the 2nd one was perfect, Mystery Begins was ok, and Curse Of The Lake Monster was the worst Scooby Doo movie I've ever seen
