Good Golly, Miss Molly Lyrics

[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling
Can't hear your momma call

[Verse 1]
From the early early morning till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rocking at the house of blue lights

[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling
Can't hear your momma call

[Verse 2]
Well, now momma, poppa told me, "Son, you better watch your step"
If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my pop myself

[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling
Can't hear your momma call

[Verse 3]
We're going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen-carat golden thing?
[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling
Can't hear your momma call

[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rocking and a-rolling
Can't hear your momma call
