Can you hear your mama call?
Verse 1:
>From the early early mornin' till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights.
(chorus)
Verse 2:
My mama 'n' papa told me "Son, you better watch your step"
If I knew my momma 'n' poppa, I'd have to watch my dad myself
(chorus)
(instrumental; same pattern as chorus)
(chorus)
Verse 3:
I'm going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring.
Would you pardon me a-kissin' let me ting-a-ling-a-ling
(chorus)
