Lyrics

Carolina brought me Dinah
That's why those bells are ringin'
That's why my heart is singin'
Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her, show her
Dinah, with those Dixie eyes blazin'
How I'd love to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night, my how I shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
Change her mind about me, babe
But if Dinah ever wandered to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
That's why you'll hear me say
I wanna wake up in the mornin'
And hear those birdies say, "Good mornin'"
The way they used to say, "Good mornin'"
In my Carolina home
Oh, Dinah, with those Dixie eyes blazin'
Who wouldn't love to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee?
Every night, my how I shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
That's why you'll hear me say
I'm gonna wake up in the mornin'
Hear those birdies whisper, "Good mornin'"
Hop an ocean liner to China
Just to be with Dinah Lee
