Lyrics[]
Pretty Mary Sunlight
She's alright with me
Pretty Mary Sunlight
Everything I need
Some people sit around
And watch the world go by
They just don't know the fun they're missin'
People see me happy
And sometimes they ask me why
I tell 'em girls were made for kissin'
I don't need to look around
I'm in heaven since I found my
Pretty Mary Sunlight
She' turns the night to day
Pretty Mary Sunlight
Don't ever go away
Some people spend their whole lives
Chasing after dreams
Dreams I guess they never will believe in
Playing foolish games
Inventing fairy tales and schemes
Building fantasies that will deceive them
I don't need to look around
I'm in heaven since I found my
Pretty Mary Sunlight
She's alright with me
Pretty Mary Sunlight
Everything I need
Pretty Mary Sunlight
Turns the night to day
(Fades out)
Description[]
The Wax Phantom chased Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo through the costume section of the wax museum, where the duo disguised themselves in 1770s costumes and then hid in a coat rack. Shaggy and Scooby then trap the Phantom in a Wax Phantom molder, and while he tried to escape, they painted a door onto a wall and then ran off. The Wax Phantom opened the door Shaggy and Scooby painted, only to collide with the wall.[1]
Notes/trivia[]
- On the Scooby-Doo's Snack Tracks: The Ultimate Collection track listing, it is spelt, "Pretty Mary Sunlite".
- Roberts' version was not featured on the soundtrack, however, possibly because Jerry Reed's version was preferred and had more quality, Reed being a professional country musician in real-life.
- Roughly a year later in The New Scooby-Doo Movies, the song was performed by Jerry Reed during his guest appearance in the episode, The Phantom of the Country Music Hall.
