Character Songs

Throughout the series, there are several characters who sing little songs and ditties. This is a list of all of those songs and their lyrics.

## Season 1

### Doodalee Doo

**Doodalee Doo** (no official name) is is a song sung by Dusty in the episode In the City.

#### Lyrics

There's leaves and trash and paper and cash
They left it all in the gutter
So along comes Dusty a singin' this song
With a chuckle, a snort, and a mutter
Oh doodalee, doodalee, doodalee, doo
I'm keepin' the streets so clean
I'm scrubbin' and scrapin', I'm pavement landscapin'
I'm buffin' this place to a sheen
Now, just you remember, January to December
I'm Dusty the street-sweepin' gal
My brushes are metal, I'm in fine fettle
With Mack my big city pal
Oh doodalee, doodalee, doodalee, doo
I'm keepin' the streets so clean
I'm scrubbin' and scrapin', I'm pavement landscapin'
I'm buffin' this place to a sheen
#### Trivia

* Right before the song begins, Morley and Dolgay's score fades out. After the song ends, the score fades back in.
	+ This may have been done due to the fact that Dusty sings her song in a different key than that of the score.

### My Diggin' Song

**My Diggin' Song** (no official name) is a song sung by Big Cat in the episode At the Construction Site.

#### Lyrics

With a dig, dig, diggy, I'm dig, dig, diggin'
I'm singin' my diggin' song
With a dig, dig, diggy, I'm dig, dig, diggin'
And it won't take very long
With a dig, dig, diggy, I'm dig, dig, diggin'
We'll build up to the sky
With a dig, dig, diggy and a dig, dig, doo
A building that's really high
With a dig, dig, diggy, I'm dig, dig, diggin'
I'm singin' my diggin' song
With a dig, dig, diggy, I'm dig, dig, diggin'
And it won't take very long
With a dig, dig, diggy, I'm dig, dig, diggin'
We'll build up to the sky
With a dig, dig, diggy and a dig, dig, doo
A building that's really high

Eighteen wheels on the ground
Drivin' from town to town
Always some friends to see
Why don't you come with me?
Headin' on down the road
Carrying important loads
Talkin' over the CB
Truckin's the life for me
Some people, they might say
It's just too hard livin' this way
Drivin' from coast to coast
That's what I love the most
Headin' on down the road
Carrying important loads
Talkin over the CB
Truckin's the life for me
