A little disclaimer--this song is super creepy because it's about a super creepy thing. Don't be this creepy person. I'm not advocating that. Thanks.

Lyrics (turn on captions for live lyrics!):
Dolly, oh Dolly... Won’t you be my baby?
Dolly, I’ve loved you... Since I first knew of you
And if I had your number, I’d call...
Every day, you know I would
And when you build up fences, so tall...
I’d crawl up your neighbors’ tree
Just to see that pretty face
Dolly, oh Dolly! Why must you ignore me?
Dolly, oh Dolly! Why can’t you just be kind to me?
Dolly, oh Dolly! I’m asking nicely
Dolly, oh Dolly! Why won’t you try and fall for me?
Dolly, oh Dolly! Why do you ignore me?
Dolly, oh Dolly! Why won’t you just be kind to me?
Dolly, oh Dolly! I’ve been asking nice-a-ly
Dolly, oh Dolly! Give it a try and fall for me
Don’t you know you owe that to me?
Why do you act so cruel to me?
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, DOLLY
