| As I was walkin' down the street,
|
| Down the street, down the street,
|
| I 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
|
| Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
|
| Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
|
| While our knees keep aknockin' and our toes keep arockin'
|
| Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
|
| Dance by the light of the moon.
|
| Mama, Mama put the cat out tonight.
|
| Cat out tonight, cat out tonigh,.
|
| Worked all day I’m gonna scat out tonight
|
| And I won’t be home until dawn.
|
| Gaonna dace with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
|
| While our knees keep a knockin' and our toes keep a rockin'
|
| Dance with a dolly with a hole in her 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 |
