Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call.

And from the early early mornin' till the early early night
When I caught Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call.

Momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch yourself."
If they knew about miss molly, I have to walk all by myself.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call.

Chorus:

I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring.
Would you pardon me a tip made me ting-a-ling-a-ling.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call.

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
