[Verse 1: Van Morrison]
Like to tell ya about my baby
You know she comes around
She about five feet four
From her head to the ground
[Verse 2: Van Morrison]
You know she comes around here
At just about midnight
She make ya feel so good, Lord
She make ya feel all right
[Pre-Chorus: Van Morrison]
And her name is G-L-O-R-I
[Chorus: Van Morrison and (Them)]
G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)
G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)
I'm gonna shout it all night (GLORIA)
I'm gonna shout it everyday (GLORIA)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 2: Van Morrison]
She comes around here
Just about midnight
Ha, she make me feel so good, Lord
I wanna say she make me feel alright
[Verse 3: Van Morrison]
Comes a-walkin' down my street
When she come to my house
She knock upon my door
And then she comes to my room
And she make me feel alright
[Chorus: Van Morrison and (Them)]
G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)
G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)
I'm gonna shout it all night (GLORIA)
I'm gonna shout it everyday (GLORIA)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Outro: Van Morrison and (Them)]
Looks so good (GLORIA) well alright
Just so good (GLORIA) alright, yeah

Van Morrison’s comment about one of the first songs he wrote –
I was just being me, a street cat from Belfast. Probably like thousands of kids from Belfast who were in bands.
