As I was walking down the street, Down the street, down the street, I met somebody who was mighty sweet, Mighty fair to see.
I asked her if she'd stop and talk, Stop and talk, stop and talk, All the guys standing on the walk, Just a-wishing they were me.
Mama, Mama let me dress up tonight, Dress up tonight, dress up tonight, I've got a go, a-gonna 'fess up tonight, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking, While our knees keep a-knocking and our toes keep a-rocking, Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn, Til' my money's gone, 'til the break of dawn, Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Mama, Mama put the cat out tonight. Cat out tonight, cat out tonight, Worked all day gonna scat out tonight, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking, While our knees keep a-knocking and our toes keep a-rocking, Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn, Til' my money's gone, 'til the break of dawn, Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking, While our knees keep a-knocking and our toes keep a-rocking, Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking, Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
