Song title, please help

Payallin · 02-05-2001, 08:26 AM

There is a song that I don't know the title of and most of the lyrics are also a mystery but the words I do know are; "And she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair"....something something etc. also the chorus is a bit difficult but I think it goes;" Dilly (Billy?)Dilly come home <repeat> you can call me down, Dilly dilly come home"
I'm sure the lyrics are wrong but you may recognise some of it.
When your done laughing I would appreciate the name of this song.

Thanks

I rather like the idea of "Dilly, Dilly". Perhaps that could be the title of a song Gord could pen for the future.

Don, here are the lyrics to the song in question:

Daylight Katy (Endless Wire) 4:18

She walks by the sea where the seaworld is
And she waits for the man to come
She lives in town with her high-heeled friends
And she knows it's a long way down
But she doesn't have to get up in the morning
With her hair so soft and long
Daylight Katy come on
Daylight Katy come on
If you can't follow me down
Daylight Katy go home

Daylight Katy come on
Daylight Katy come on
If you can't follow me down
Daylight Katy go home

She walks to the sea where the seaweed is
Where the rust and the dirt runs deep
She lives nine lives in her midnight world
While her old man's fast asleep
And she doesn't have to get up in the mornin'
With her hair so soft and long

Daylight Katy come on
Daylight Katy come on
If you can't follow me down
Daylight Katy go home

Daylight Katy come on
Daylight Katy come on
If you can't follow me down
Daylight Katy go home

She lives by the sea when the summer wind comes
And the sea don't mind at all
She talks to the sea when the sea runs wild
And the waves run steep and tall
And she doesn't have to get up in the mornin'
With her hair so soft and long

Daylight Katy come on
Daylight Katy come on
If you can't follow me down
Daylight Katy go home

Daylight Katy come on
Daylight Katy come on
If you can't follow me down
Daylight Katy go home
