Skidoo/Goodnight Mr. Banks

(album: Skidoo - 1968)

There's sun power, gun power
Atomic power, fun power
Power power, flower power
Go power and low power
And if power's all they really understand
We take the power of the flower
And the power of the dough
We put them both together
And we love them together!
Mmm, charge!

Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who you do
Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who
Skidoo, I do
I do believe it really is the thing to do
Skidoo, skidoo
And the world can be a better place for you

Well you gotta be good and you gotta be kind
But there's a lotta people, think they gotta draw the line
They separate the good, the bad, the wrong from right
They forget about the color that's between the black and white
The groovy little in-between

Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who you do
Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who

Skidoo, I doo-de-ly-ooh-do
I do believe it really is the thing to do
Skidoo, skidoo
Between the one and three there is a two

Look around and if you open your eyes
You may begin to think you shouldn't criticize
The way another person wants to wear his hair
But in the overall analysis, the only thing that counts
Is the magic and the love you share

Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who you do
Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who
Skidoo, I do
I do believe it really is the thing to do
Skidoo, skidoo
And the world can be a better place for you

Time's moving fast and there's a lot to see
So don't you trap yourself inside a boat that's floating on the sea
There's a better way of living if you take the time to try
To live and love and take a breath and watch the scenery
As the color slowly changes from fourteen to twenty-three

Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who you do
Skidoo, skidoo
The only thing that matters is with who
Skidoo, I do-de-ly-ooh-do
Do-de-ly-ooh believe it really is the thing to do
Skidoo, skidoo
And the world can be a better place for you

Skidoo, bop-mmm...
