My Wubba Dolly (Rubber Dolly)

Ella Fitzgerald

10

My mommy told me

If I was goody

That she would buy me

A wubba dolly

So don't you tella

I kissed a fella

Or she won't buy me

That wubba dolly

I know

I've been up to tricks

Oh-oh

I'm in a fix

I want that dolly

Indeed I do-o

But what a fella

I want him too-o

(band members:

Is it the fella or the dolly or the dolly or the

fella or the fella or the dolly for you?

Is it the fella or the dolly or the dolly or the

fella, what are you gonna do?)

I'll be a goodie

Just watch and you'll see

And she will buy me

A wubba dolly

(male voice, sounding like an imitation Louis

Armstrong:

Oh yes I'm sorry

About the dolly

Because we told her, woo-hoo

About this feller)

Boo-hoo

Oh why did you?

Oh boys

I wouldn't do it to you

Why did you tella

I kissed a fella

Now she won't buy me

A wubba dolly

(instrumental break)

(band members, with children's voices:

We didn't tella

You kissed a fella)

Oh goody-goody - and now she'll buy me

That wubba dolly

Oh look here comes my mommy

And just look what she's got me

My mammy bought me

A little bitty wubba dolly

(male voice, same as before:

She sho' did, she sho' did!)
