Lyrics

Well, down in New Orleans at the Golden GooseI grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the looseWell, I dig that music “well, ” she said, “me too”I said, “pretty baby, come on and let’s do”

The dixieland rock (dixieland rock)Well, the dixieland rock (dixieland rock)Let your hair down, sugar shake it freeAnd do the dixieland rock with me, hey, hey

With the blue light shining on her swinging hipsShe got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticksThe cornet player hit a note that’s flatThe tromboner hit him while the poor cat sat

The dixieland rock (dixieland rock)Well, the dixieland rock (dixieland rock)Let your hair down, sugar shake it freeAnd do the dixieland rock with me

I was all pooped out and when the clock struck fourBut she said, “no, daddy, can’t leave the floor”She wore a clinging dress that fit so tightShe couldn’t sit down so we danced all night

The dixieland rock (dixieland rock)Well, the dixieland rock (dixieland rock)Let your hair down sugar shake it freeAnd do the dixieland rock with meLet your hair down, sugar shake itAnd do the dixieland rock with me (dixieland rock, dixieland rock, dixieland rock)
