(Verse 1)
Well, Scooby packed his bags, headed to the farm,
But this dog ain’t cut out for country charm.
He ain’t herdin’ sheep, he’s chasin’ ghosts,
And he’s more scared of cows than most.

(Chorus)
Scooby-Doo ain’t your average farm dog, no way!
He’s runnin’ from roosters at the break of day.
Forget the chores, he’s too busy hidin’ in hay,
Scooby-Doo’s got a mystery to solve, not bales to lay!

(Verse 2)
When the barn door creaks, he thinks it’s a spook,
Hidin’ in the haystack, now that’s his nook.
Tried to milk a cow, thought it was slime,
Now Scooby’s scared stiff and losin’ time.

(Chorus)
Scooby-Doo ain’t your average farm dog, no joke!
He’s lookin’ for clues why the tractor’s broke.
He sees that old scarecrow and thinks it’s woke,
Scooby’s not herdin’ sheep, he’s huntin’ smoke!

(Verse 3)
Asked the barn cat, “You a shape-shiftin’ fiend?”
That cat just purred, not what Scooby dreamed.
Instead of barkin’ at strangers on the ranch,
He offers Scooby Snacks to the coyotes like he stands a chance.

(Chorus)
Scooby-Doo ain’t your average farm dog, y’all,
Thinks the wind’s a ghost, he hides in the stall.
When it’s time to wrangle, he’s nowhere to find,
Scooby-Doo’s solving mysteries, given the hogs piece of mind!

(Bridge)
Scooby’s diggin’ for answers, with his paws in the dirt,
But three hours later, he’s starting to hurt.
That hole’s been “investigated,” left undefined,
Mysteries linger, but clues? Hard to find.

(Chorus)
Scooby-Doo ain’t your average farm dog, oh no,
He’s runnin’ from chickens, thinkin’ they’re his foe.
He’s diggin’ up holes for clues to show,
Scooby-Doo’s chasin’ mysteries where the veggies grow!

(Outro)
So if you’re lookin’ for a dog to guard your yard,
Scooby-Doo won’t find nothing in that regard.
He ain’t herdin’ cattle, he’s on a case,
Scooby-Doo’s not your farm dog, he’s in a whole ‘nother place!

Scooby-Doo ain’t your average farm dog, no way!

Scooby-Doo Ain’t Your Average Farm Dog

(1990 poem by Alan Nafzger)

Scooby packed his bags one sunny day,
Headed to the farm, but he couldn’t stay.
Not herdin’ sheep, but chasin’ spooks,
Scared of the cows and their curious looks.

The barn door creaked, he thought it a ghost,
Hid in the haystack, scared the most.
Tried to milk a cow, thought it was slime,
Now poor Scooby’s wastin’ all his time.

Scooby ain’t no farm dog, no way,
Running from roosters at the break of day.
The haystack’s his home, not out in the field,
Mysteries to solve—his only shield.

He met the barn cat, called it a fiend,
The cat just purred, more calm than it seemed.
Instead of barkin’ at strangers near,
Scooby hands out snacks, with no fear.

The scarecrow stands tall, a “woke” sight to see,
But to Scooby, it’s a threat or mystery.
He’s not herdin’ hogs, not chasing sheep,
He’s lookin’ for clues, while the cows fall asleep.

When pigs need roundin’, he grabs his glass,
Looking for suspects as the cattle pass.
The wind howls at night, it’s just a breeze,
But Scooby thinks it’s hauntings in the trees.

So if you need a guard dog in your yard,
Scooby’s too busy with his ghost watchin’ card.
Not wrangling cattle or plowin’ hay,
Scooby’s solving mysteries the farm dog way!

Scooby-Doo ain’t no farm dog, it’s true,
With every shadow, he’s got work to do!
