Gloria Lyrics
Grateful Dead, “Gloria (live)”
Dick's Pick's Volume 21: Richmond, Virginia, 11/1/85 [Live] (Disc 3) [2001]
Wanna tell you about my baby, you know she comes around
Just about five feet-four from her head on to the ground
When she comes around here just about midnight
Whoa she only come to make me feel so good, she only make me feel alright
And her name is G.L.O.R. wait a minute
G.L.O.R. wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
She said her name is G.L.O.R.I.I.I.I.A G.L.O.R.I.A.
Gloria (G.L.O.R.I.A.) Gloria I wanna to shout it in the night now
Gloria I wanna to shout it everyday
Gloria, hey, hey, hey, hey
Tell you about my baby
Walkin’ down the street now
Me and my little baby
Walking on her two feet now
Walkin’ round here just about midnight
She only come to make me feel good,
Oh she makes me feel alright
She come walking down my street,
Then she comes up to my house
Knock up on my door, then she comes to my room
Hey, hey she makes me feel alright, alright
Then after that I never can figure out where my baby went
She might, might have climbed up on a space shuttle
Or gone off and run for president
Don’t matter much to me now
Cause she makes me happy as I can be now, that’s right
And her name is G.L.O.R. wait a minute
Sometimes it’s hard to get it all together when we have everyone try to spell
Which you gonna make me did now, some how, I, some how I can tell
And her name is G.L.O.R.I.A.
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria, Gloria, I wanna shout it every night Gloria, I wanna shout it every day
And her name is G.L.O.R.I.I.I.I.A
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria
I wanna shout it every night Gloria
I wanna shout it every day Gloria
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria
G.L.O.R.I.A. Gloria

Whoo! Female empowerment!
This is a great version of "Gloria", the Dead know how to make a song about sex sound like a gospel traditional (Gloria = Glory). The improvisational parts work, it gives it a more original feel, like the Dead own the song. Would be even better if it didn't sound like a teenage cheerleader being strangled at the end.
