[Verse 1] Years and years ago,
I caught this awful fever
From this girl I used to know
But she was no inveigler.
And I adored her,
A little sprite, she was.
And it was years Ago
But I recall because

[Chorus] Those eyes!
Jet Black Silk around her.
Oh my,
I think my heart might founder.
That button on her face,
It kinda makes me crazy.
You know that girl's a dream,
That sloe-eyed baby.

[Verse 2] Now she's across the globe,
She swims Sagami Bay.
But man, that's all I know;
I doubt I'll see her someday.
She's stuck inside my brain.
She's making me insane.
But if I might forget her,
I hope I don't get better.

[Chorus] Those eyes!
Jet Black Silk around her.
Oh my,
I think my heart might founder.
That button on her face,
It kinda makes me crazy.
You know that girl's a dream,
That sloe-eyed baby.

[Chorus 2] Those eyes!
Jet Black Silk around her.
Oh my,
I think my heart might founder.
That button on her face,
It kinda makes me crazy.
You know that girl's a dream,
That sloe-eyed baby.
That button on her face,
It kinda drive me crazy.
You know that she's a dream,
That sloe-eyed baby, yeah.
