LYRICS

Well, down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose

I grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose

Well, I dig that music "well, " she said, "me too"

I said, "pretty baby, come on and let's do"

The dixieland rock

Well, do the dixieland rock

Let your hair down, sugar shake it free

And do the dixieland rock with me

With the blue light shining on her swinging hips

She got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticks

The cornet player hit a note that's flat

The tromboner hit him while the poor cat sat

Do the dixieland rock

Well, do the dixieland rock

Let your hair down, sugar, shake it free

And do the dixieland rock with me

I was all pooped out and when the clock struck four

But she said, "no, daddy, can't leave the floor"

She wore a clinging dress that fit so tight

She couldn't sit down so we danced all night

Do the dixieland rock

Well, do the dixieland rock

Let your hair down sugar, shake it free

And do the dixieland rock with me

Let your hair down, sugar, shake it

And do the dixieland rock with me
