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 if she'd stop and talk
Stop and talk, stop and talk
All the guys standin' on the walk
Just wishin' they were me
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 a-knockin' and our toes keep a-rockin'
Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
Gonna dance by the light of the moon
Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn
'Til my money's gone, 'til the break of dawn
Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn
Gonna 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
Gonna dance by the light of the moon
Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
While our knees keep a-knockin' and our toes keep a-rockin'
Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
Gonna dance by the light of the moon
Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn
'Til my money's gone, 'til the break of dawn
Gonna rock and stomp 'til the break of dawn
Gonna dance by the light of the moon
