Lyrics by cc Snowden (me)
With her long, painted nails,
she strums a harpsichord’s strings.
But the magic starts to happen,
when this brilliant woman sings.
verse 2
From the Smokey mountain foothills,
to Country Music’s hall of fame,
You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone,
who doesn’t know her name.
chorus
To the world she is D-o-l-l-y,
Nobody does it better,
Even though some may try.
The Lord outdid himself,
and truly blessed us one and all,
with this GIANT standing 5 feet tall.
verse 3
Wearing her big, blonde wigs,
to compliment her gorgeous face,
She entertains audiences for hours,
always appreciating her fan base.
verse 4
But, if someone should call her “tacky,”
She’ll give a zinger they can keep,
And says, “Well, it’s expensive
just to look this cheap.”
chorus
To the world she is D-o-l-l-y,
Nobody does it better,
Even though some try.
The Lord outdid himself,
and truly blessed us one and all,
with this GIANT standing 5 feet tall.
bridge
She gave us “Coat of Many Colors”
“Nine to Five” and “Jolene”
“I will Always Love You”
and “Islands in the Stream”
Many timeless tunes and lyrics,
tattoo our hearts and minds
There is ONLY ONE D-o-l-l-y.
outro
Not every legend makes the books,
Not every hero wears a cape,
It might be a big-busted woman,
That helps your life-long dream take shape.
chorus
On this earth she is D-o-l-l-y,
Nobody does it better,
Even though some try.
The Lord outdid himself,
and truly blessed us all,
with this GIANT standing 5 feet tall.
chorus
Thank God for Ms. D-o-l-l-y,
Nobody does it better,
Even though some try.
The Lord outdid himself,
and truly blessed us all,
with this GIANT standing 5 feet tall.
