Dolly Rocker Lyrics

Syd Barrett

What's this song called Syd?'
'Dolly Rocker, it's called Dolly Rocker.
It's an old make of dress... well, months old,
that sort of thing.'
I know a sweet girl,
she done went out and paid for me,
then the sweet girl,
after five we went for tea.
She's seen a dolly rocker,
she want a girl she got her,
I want to see her I know I do,
I love you darling all for you.
You want to meet pearl?
shes's as cute as a squirrel's nut,
she done see me,
said she thought she got the lot.
She's a dolly rocker
I want to wait till I got her,
said she knew I know we know I do,
said she gotta see me lonely with you.
Oceans may travel away so long,
senses in the gravel,
to see yourself in home,
nice to be at home.
All I'll ever be forever,
all my life you see when you got her,
all I know, I know I show you baby,
through your head push to you baby,
is a dolly rocker.
She know what she got her,
she seen a dolly rocker,
she seen a dolly rocker,
Mmm mmm hmm hmm
