Gillian Welch Little Luli
[Verse 1]
How many nickels does it take
To see Little Lulu's body shake?
It takes a nickel, it'll take a dime
To see Little Lulu's body shine
[Chorus]
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
[Verse 2]
All of the boys in Lulaville
Know where to spend a dollar bill
Feet a-poundin' like a .44
Dust comin' up through the cracks in the floor
[Chorus]
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
[Verse 3]
Where did you get your diamond ring?
All the other pretty things?
Got the diamond from candyman
I wanna hear from him again
[Chorus]
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
[Verse 4]
I've been down in Bowling Green
I've been far as Abilene
Anytime that I'm in town
I want to see miss Lulu Brown
[Chorus]
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
