[Verse 1] Midnight strikes, the records play Three little dolls come out to sway Dolly's singing about Jolene The prettiest girl you've ever seen Long red hair and emerald eyes Stealing hearts with pretty lies Three little dolls begin to grin We know the trouble she's getting in! [Pre-Chorus] She's got beauty, she's got charm But we won't let her do no harm Three little girls have made a plan To keep her from stealing Dolly's man! [Chorus] Dolly dearest, don't you cry! We saw Jolene go passing by! Dolly dearest, can't you see? She's messing with the wrong three! [Verse 2] Jolene came knocking at our door High heels tapping on the floor She saw us sitting in our chair With painted smiles and pretty hair She laughed and said, "Aren't you sweet?" Three little dolls jumped to their feet One grabbed her hand, another grinned The third said, "Come on in!" [Pre-Chorus] She's got beauty, she's got charm But we won't let her do no harm Three little girls have made a plan To keep her from stealing Dolly's man! [Chorus] Dolly dearest, don't you cry! We saw Jolene go passing by! Dolly dearest, can't you see? She's messing with the wrong three! [Bridge — Trading Voices] [Girl 1] Look at your fingers! [Girl 2] Look at your toes! [Girl 3] Look at that pretty porcelain nose! [Girl 1] Your hair's in ribbons! [Girl 2] Your cheeks are white! [Girl 3] You're gonna love your new life tonight! [All] Your skin is porcelain! Your heart is stone! Welcome, Jolene! To your brand-new home! [Final Chorus] Dolly dearest, don't you cry! We saw Jolene go passing by! Dolly dearest, can't you see? She's messing with the wrong three! Dolly dearest, don't you cry! We saw Jolene go passing by! Dolly dearest, can't you see? She's messing with the wrong three!
