Lyrics

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 fellas standin' on the wall
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 the dolly with the hole in her stockin'
While the knees keep a-knockin' and the toes keep a-rockin'
Gonna dance with the dolly with the hole in her stockin'
Dance by the light of the moon
Mama, mama, put the cat out tonight
The cat out tonight, the cat out tonight
I worked all day, I'm gonna scat out tonight
And I won't be home until dawn
Gonna dance with the dolly with the hole in her stockin'
Knees keep a-knockin', toes keep a-rockin'
Dance with the dolly with the hole in her stockin'
By the light of the moon
She's got more kisses than a candy store
Candy store, candy store
Sweeter than I've ever had before
Still, I cry for more
Gonna dance with the dolly with the hole in her stockin'
While the knees keep a-knockin' and the toes keep a-rockin'
Gonna dance with the dolly with the 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
