Moments
The Avalon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love my Dinah (Dede Dinah)
Love my Dinah (Dede Dinah)
There ain't no girl that is fine-ah
Than my rockin', rollin' Dinah
Dede Dinah, Dede Dinah

Love to squeeze 'er (Dede Dinah)
Love to tease 'er (Dede Dinah)
No one else can have my Dinah
'Cause my Dinah is-a mine-ah
Pretty Dinah, pretty Dinah

Bony Maronie, Peggy Sue
Ain't got that love so very tru-ue
But, with my Dinah, I sure knew
There's nothing for me she wouldn't do, do-do-do-do

Oh, that's my Dinah (Dede Dinah)
My own Dinah (Dede Dinah)
There's no girl I know can beat 'er
When it comes to bein' sweeter than my Dinah
Dede Dinah

Bony Maronie, Peggy Sue
Ain't got that love so very tru-ue
But, with my Dinah, I sure knew
There's nothing for me she wouldn't do, do-do-do-do

Oh, that's my Dinah (Dede Dinah)
My own Dinah (Dede Dinah)
There's no girl I know can beat 'er
When it comes to bein' sweeter than my Dinah
Dede Dinah





Dede Dinah, Dede Dinah
Dede Dinah, Dede Dinah

Me too, except people always look excited and expectant of his outbursts, whereas people around me always have these sort of tense smiles when they introduce me to strangers. And flinch a little when I talk sometimes. 🤣
