Lyrics[]

Doris, Doris you're the one
That gets me captivated
Everytime you look at me
I get so addlepated
And when I'm riding along the street
Everybody that I meet
Says "there goes the guy
that's crazy over sweet Doris Mae".

Trivia[]

The cartoon was inspired in a whole song written by Oliver Williams, which shares the title of the cartoon "Crazy Over Doris".
Along the episode, Douglas keeps whistling the song and the episode ends with the music again. Douglas also briefly whistles the song in Out on a Lamb and Dude Douglas. He also briefly quacks the song in Chris Ahoy.
The song "Crazy Over Doris" had new lyrics written for the record Michael Shires Takes You to Shiresland, and was retitled "Meet Me Down on Main Street".
This is last Shires cartoon with no credits.
