[Intro]
Hoo-ooh!
Look, look at Dolly
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, dolly
Oh, here she come, here she come, here she come
Pretty, pretty Dolly

[Verse 1]
When Dolly hear them sound the drum
Up, she jump and she holler: "Here I Come"
When Dolly hear them sound the drum
Up, she jump and she holler: "Here I Come"

[Chorus]
'Cause she gonna dance, she gonna sing
She gonna cause the rafters to ring
She gonna dance, she gonna sing
She gonna cause the rafters to ring
She gonna dance, she gonna sing
She gonna cause the rafters to ring
She gonna dance, she gonna sing
She gonna cause the rafters to ring

[Verse 2]
Don't stop her when she hear the call
Dolly Dawn goin' to have herself a ball
Don't stop her when she hear the call
Dolly Dawn goin' to have herself a ball
