What’s this called?
Dolly Rocker’, It’s called ‘Dolly Rocker’
It’s an old make of dress
Well, months old, you know that sort of thing
I know a sweet girl
She done went out and paid for me
Done a sweet girl
After five we went for tea
She seen a Dolly Rocker
She want a girl, she got her
I wanna see her, I know I do
I love you darling, all for you
You want to meet Pearl?
She's as cute as a squirrel's nut
She done seen me
Said she thought she got the lot
She's a Dolly Rocker
Want to wait 'till I got her
Said she no I know we know, I do
Said she gotta see me lonely with you
Oceans may travel, away so long
Senses in the gravel, to see yourself at home
Nice to be at home
All there’ll ever be forever
All my life, you see, when you got her
All I know, you know, I show you, baby
Through your head push to you, baby
Is a Dolly Rocker
She know what she got her
She seen a Dolly Rocker
She seen a Dolly Rocker
