  • Little doll we've been jiving all night long
    (Little doll)
    Little doll gotta feeling something's wrong
    (Little doll)
    'Cause it ain't right to wanna keep on dancing
    There won't be any time left for romancing

    Come outside, come outside
    There's a lovely moon out there
    Come outside, come outside
    While we got time to spare

    Little doll it seems ages since we kissed
    (Little doll)
    Little doll think of all the fun we've missed
    (Little doll)
    'Cause it ain't right to wanna keep on dancing
    There won't be any time left for romancing

    Come outside, (what for) come outside (whats the rush)
    There's a lovely moon out there (it's cold outside)
    Come outside, (why) come outside (you do keep on)
    While we got time to spare (I want another twist)

    Now I went and promised your old man
    That we'd be home about half past ten
    Seems we've got just one more jive
    Then we'll be starting home again

    Come outside,(get lost) come outside (go and ask lil')
    There's a lovely moon out there (you can go off people)
    Come outside, (give over) come outside (belt up)
    While we got time to spare (why don't you listen to the beat)

    Little doll I know the band ain't bad
    (Little doll)
    Little doll I'm a-getting kinda mad
    (Little doll)
    'Cause it ain't right to wanna keep on dancing
    There won't be any time left for romancing

    Come outside, (lay off) come outside (shove it)
    There's a lovely moon out there (you are a one)
    Come outside, (alright) come outside (not for too long)
    While we got time for a bit of slap and tickle (I'll slap and tickle you in a minute)
    Oh come out for a bit of. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Barry Anderson from Las VegasI remember Mike Sarne's "Come Outside song in 1962, not long before I emigrated (legally) to the USA in January 1963
  • AnonymousWill I what didn't have Wendy Richard on it the female voice was that of Billie Davis who had a later hit with tell him
  • Phil Worley from BerksireWill I What was with Billie Davis who later went on to have a solo career. her biggest hit was "Tell Him"
  • Michael from Bradford, EnglandMike Sarne was not a one-hit wonder. Although he didn't achieve N°1 status again he had "Will I What?" with Wendy Richards that went to N°18 in the UK, "Just for Kicks", that made N°22 (with a motor bike that sounded more like a moped) and finally "Code of Love" at N°29.
    "Will I What?" was probably his best, it was the funniest!
