Oh Doris, Where do you live
Where do you live, oh Doris
Oh Doris, give us a guess
What’s your address, oh Doris
When we see you sitting on the old school wall
We know you don’t really need to make us fall
But oh Doris, do this favour for us
Tell us Doris where do you live.

OH DORIS, WHERE DO YOU LIVE
Version by Denza Dance Band


All the boys in college have thrown their books away
They miss almost all the lessons almost every day
The campus fence is crowded, the boys will sit and die(?)
Until a certain party passes, then you hear them sigh

Oh Doris, Where do you live
Where do you live, oh Doris
Oh Doris, Give us a tell
Where do you dwell, oh Doris
When we see you strutting on the campus
We know you don’t really need to vamp us
But oh Doris, do this favour for us
Tell us Doris where do you live.
