Well, thanks for that link, Wes. I never knew about that resource. It's a good one.

I went through 4 pages of artists recording songs titled "What's Your Name?" and I think the version I was thinking of was by the Williams Brothers, recorded in '72. They were a couple of teen heartthrob "Tiger Beat"-type singers at the time. Explains why I thought it might be Donny Osmond or Shaun Cassidy or someone like that.

Anyway, here are the lyrics, Joe. (I don't recall that the later Williams Bros recording had that big "Shooby-doo-bop-bah-dah!" ending though.)

What's Your Name
By Don & Juan 1962

What's your name?
I have seen you before
What's your name?
May I walk you to your door?

It's so hard to find a personality
With charms like yours for me
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-wee

What's your name?
Is it Mary or Sue?
What's your name?
Do I stand a chance with you?

It's so hard to find a personality
With charms like yours for me
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-wee

I stood on this corner waiting for you to come along
So my heart could feel satisfied
So please let me be your Number One
Under the moon
Under the stars
And under the sun

(Oh-woh)
What's your name? (what's your name?)
Is it Mary or Sue?
What's your name? (what's your name?)
Do I stand a chance with you?

It's so hard to find a personality
With charms like yours for me
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-wee

What's your name?
What's your name?

Shooby-doo-bop-bah-dah!
