[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your mama call
[Verse 1]
From the early, early morning
To the early, early night
When you caught Miss Molly
Rockin' at the House of Blue Lights
[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your mama call
[Verse 2]
Mama, Papa told me
"Son, you better watch your step"
If they knew about Miss Molly
I'd have to watch my Pa myself
[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your mama call
[Post-Chorus]
Ah
[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your mama call
[Verse 3]
Goin' to the corner
Gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you hug me and kiss me?
Make me ting-a-ling-a-ling?
[Chorus]
Good golly, Miss Molly sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your mama call

Little Richard about lifting the riff from Ike Turner’s piano in Jackie Brenston Rocket 88 –
I always liked that record, and I used to use the riff in my act, so when we were looking for a lead-in to ‘Good Golly, Miss Molly,’ I did that and it fit.
