Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazing
How I love to sit and gazing
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I?
Shake with pride?
'Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China?
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Mills Bros. repeat verse
Bing scats
Every night why do I?
Shake with pride?
'Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
The name of this song is Dinah
Said it
The name of this song is Dinah
Snag it
The name of this song is Dinah
Ah, tell it
The name of this song is Dinah
Dinah
Wander to China
The state of Carolina
Listen and you know her
I would like to have you show her to me
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazing
How I love to sit and gazing
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would get me an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
