Lyrics

  1. Dollie mine, rain or shine
    This is the day we get in line
    Dress’d in your best, follow the rest
    Every one feeling fine
    You and me, with a V.
    Somehow will get along
    While lads the wittiest and girls the prettiest
    Join in the merry song

Chorus
Hi-le-hi-lo! Away we go
Afloat on a five dollar note
Shoot the chutes or a trip to the moon
Blow your dough as with dovey you spoon
Listen to the band, oh! ain’t it grand
Every one whistle or shout
It’s so jolly with Dolly by trolley or boat
Afloat on a five dollar note with your tootsie

  1. Dollie dear, don’t you fear
    Tho’ I am not a financier
    Mister J. P can’t get near me
    He can’t control my V.
    All but you can skidoo
    Say won’t we make things hum
    No more a lonely one
    Since you’re my only one
    I guess that’s going some
