“Dizzy, Miss Lizzy” is a song composed and recorded by Larry Williams in 1958. It shares many similarities with the Little Richard song “Good Golly Miss Molly”.
Dizzy Miss Lizzie had been a part of The Beatles’ live repertoire since their earliest days. It was originally released as a single by Williams in 1958, with Slow Down on the b-side.
Although it wasn’t intended for the Help! LP, The Beatles evidently decided their version was good enough to be included.

Dizzy Miss Lizzy – Lyrics
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
The way you rock and roll
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When you do the stroll
Come on, Miss Lizzy
Love me ‘fore I grow too old
Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine
You make me dizzy, dizz, Lizzy
Ooh, girl, you look so fine
Just a-rockin’ an’ a-rollin’
Girl, I said I wish you were mine
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When you call my name
Ooh, baby
Say you’re driving me insane
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
I want to be your loving man
Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride
Run and tell your brother
Baby, don’t run and hide
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
Girl, I want to marry you
Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine, girl
You make me dizzy, dizzy, Lizzy
Girl, you look so fine
You’re just a-rockin’ and a-rollin’
Ooh, I said I wish you were mine
