Good Golly, Miss Molly
Status Quo · Other Songs - Status Quo
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Can't hear your mamma call
From the early early mornin' till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your mamma call
Well, now mamma, papa told me: "Son, you better watch your step."
If you hear my mamma talking you'll remember what she said
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call
Yeah, I'm going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you hug me and a-kiss me, make me ting-a-ling-a-ling
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call
Good Golly, Miss Molly
