Verse I:
You know, I've spent all my nickles
and all my dimes too,.
and all of my other change
on Miss Dolly Du.
She told me that she loved me
and could love me much more.
If I had a few more dollars to give her,
she wouldn't have to go.

Verse II:
So, I standing on a corner,
I've got my hat in my hand.
I'm singing and dancing like a wild man;
doing the best I can.
I hoping for some handouts;
any kind of green will do.
I need a few dollars tonight
to give Miss Dolly Du.

Verse III:
The night is still young you know.
I've got some cash in my hands.
I'm out looking for Miss Dolly,
'cause I love her so.
I've got a few dollars to give her,
so she won't have to go.

Verse IV;
Now, I spent all my nickles
and all dimes too;
and all my other change on Miss Dolly Do.
When she tells me that she loves me
and wants to love me more,
I'll give her all my money each night,
so she won't have to go.
