Yeah, right Did you hear about my baby? She come around She come round here, her head to the ground? Come round here just about midnight, She makes me feel so good, make me feel alright
She come round my street, now She come to my house Knock upon my door Climbing up my stairs, one, two, three
Come on, baby Here she is in my room, oh boy Hey, what's your name? How old are you?
Where'd you go to school? Well, now that we know each other a little bit better Why don't you come over here and make me feel alright?
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

Wrap your arms around my feet Wrap your hair around my skin I'm gonna huh, all right, okay, yeah It's getting harder, It's getting too darn fast, etc

'Gloria' was the B Side to a big hit for Them "Baby, Please Don't Go" in 1964 and was released as an A Side in 1965. So this would be well known to The Doors. It became a staple of their early sets in the Fog and Whisky. Once famously they performed it on stage with Them who they had supported during Them's residency at the Whisky on Saturday June 18th 1966   Several examples of the band playing it live exist. The Matrix 1967 version and the 'soundcheck' version from Alive She Cried. Jim Morrison would expand the Van Morrison lyric in concert including various X rated versions that have appeared over the years.
