Part 1:
As I was walkin' down the street,  Down the street,  Down the street,
I 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 fellows standin' on the walk, Wishin' they were me.

Part 2:
Mama,  Mama, let me dress up tonight,  Dress up tonight,  Dress up tonight,
I've got a secret, gonna 'fess up tonight,  Gonna dance by the light of the moon.
Gonna dance with a Dolly with a hole in her stockin',  While our knees keep aknockin', and our toes keep arockin',
Dance with a Dolly with a hole in her stockin',  Dance by the light of the moon.
 
Mama, Mama, put the cat out tonight,  Cat out tonight,  Cat out tonight,
Worked, all day I'm gonna scat out tonight,  And I won't be home until dawn.
Gonna dance with a Dol - ly with a hole in her stockin',  While our knees keep aknockin', and our toes keep arockin',
Dance with a Dolly with a hole in her stockin',  Dance by the light of the moon.
 
Ending:
Dance by the light of the moon,  By the light of the moon.
