AIN'T THAT A DILLY MARLON GRISHAM 1959 I walked into a record shop They were playing number one People rockin' up the place And havin' so much fun I heard this fellow talkin' I heard this fellow say Well, them cats are cool And they're twice as gone And they're a-rockin' all the way chorus: Ain't that a dilly, ain't that a bird Ain't that the coolest thing that you ever heard Well, I love my baby I'd climb the highest tree I'd swim the widest ocean If she'd just dance with me So I called my baby on the phone But she can't go tonight She's got the mumps and the measles too And she don't feel just right CHORUS Well, she's got me feelin' weary She's a-got me feelin' blue I think I'll write a song for her And I'll record it too I think I'll call it Chopin, Beethoven No. 2 Then I'll put it to a rockin' beat And do it all for you CHORUS
