Good Golly Miss Molly
Little Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin', can't hear your momma call
From the early, early mornin' till the early, early night
When I caught Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue light
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin', can't hear your momma call
Momma, poppa told me "son, you better watch your step"
If I knew poppa's momma's, have to watch my poppa myself
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin', can't hear your momma call
Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a-rollin', can't hear your momma call
I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me, kiss me, ting-a-ling-a-ling?
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin', can't hear your momma call
