Lyrics Dance With A Dolly - Evelyn Knight

As I was walkin' down the street
Down the street, down the street
Met somebody who was mighty sweet
Mighty fair to see

I asked her would she like to have a talk
Have a talk, make some talk
All the fellows standin' on the walk
Wishin' they were me

Mama, Mama, let me dress up tonight
Dress up tonight, dress up tonight
I've got a secret, gonna 'fess up tonight
I'm gonna dance by the light of the moon

Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in his stockin'
While the knees keep a-knockin' and the toes keep a-rockin'
Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in his stockin'
Dance by the light of the moon

Mama, Mama, put the cat out tonight
The cat out tonight, cat out tonight
Worked all day, I'm gonna scat out tonight
And I won't be home until dawn

Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in his stockin'
Knees keep a-knockin', toes keep a-rockin'
Dance with a dolly with a hole in his stockin'
By the light of the moon

Shes got more kisses than a candy store, candy store, candy store
Sweet as Anna never had before
Still, I grabbed for more

So, I'm gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in his stockin'
While the knees keep a-knockin' and the toes keep a-rockin'
Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in his stockin'
Dance by the light of the moon

Gonna dance by the light of the moon
Dance by the light of the moon
By the light of the moon
