                  (Shorty Long - Blackwell/Mariscalso)

[Still incomplete.  The most successful of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit
Wheels' "medley" singles, peaking at #4 in December, 1966.]

Verse 1:

	C7
	Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
	Look at Molly now [2: look out once again, now], here she comes
	Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match
	She's got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat

	F7
	Wearin' her pearls and her diamond rings
		   C7
	She's got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything
	            G7
	She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
	F7
	Devil with the blue dress on

	C7              F7          C7          F7
	Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
	C7              F7        C7
	Devil with the blue dress on

Verse 2:

	Wearin' her perfume, Chanel No. 5
	Got to be the finest girl alive
	She walks real cool, catches everybody's eye
	She's got such good lovin' that they can't say goodbye
	Not too skinny, she's not too fat
	She's a real humdinger and I like it like that

	She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
	Devil with the blue dress on

	Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
	Devil with the blue dress on

	   Can't you hear your mama call
	         Eb [N.C.]
	From the early, early mornin' 'til the early, early nights
	See Miss Molly rockin' at the House of Blue Lights

	Ab7
	    Can't you hear your mama call
