Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
Look at mine today, here she comes
Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match
Her high-heel shoes and an alligator hat
Wearin' pearls and diamond rings
She's got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything?

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Hey I said now, devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

Wearin' her perfume, Chanel No. 5
Got to be the finest thing alive
Walks real cool, catches everybody's eye
Catch you too nervous and you can't say hi 
Not too skinny not too fat
Real humdinger and I like it like that
She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

Good golly, Miss Molly (good golly, Miss Molly)
You sure like to ball (good golly, Miss Molly)
Good golly, Miss Molly(good golly, Miss Molly)
You sure like to ball (good golly, Miss Molly)
If you're rockin' and rollin'(good golly, Miss Molly)
Hear your mama call (Good golly, Miss Molly)
From the early, early mornin' 'til the early, early nights
See Miss Molly rockin' at the House of Blue Lights
Good golly, Miss Molly (good golly, Miss Molly)
You sure like to ball (good golly, Miss Molly)
You have take it easy (good golly, Miss Molly)
Hear your mama call (good golly, Miss Molly)

Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
Look once again, now, here she comes
Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match
Got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat
Wearin' her pearls and her diamond rings
That sort of thing is now everything

She's devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Hey I said now, devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
