was walking 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 floor
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 the stockin'
While the knees keep a -knockin'
and the toes keep a -rockin'
gonna dance with the dolly
with the hole in the stocking
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 the stocking
Knees keep a -knockin',
toes keep a -rockin'
Dance with the dolly
with the hole in the stocking
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 the stocking
While the knees keep a -knockin'
and the toes keep a -rockin'
Gonna dance with the dolly
with the hole in his stocking
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
