Have you ever heard a love song, that you didn't under- stand

 Where you met her in a teahouse, on the Island of Japan

 And have you ever traveled over many thousand miles

 To see a pretty Geisha Girl, dressed in Oriental style.

Chorus

 They read it in the tealeaves and it's written in the sand

 I found love by the heart full, in a foreign distant land

 Tell the home folks that I'm happy, with someone that's true, I know

 I love a pretty Geisha Girl, where the ocean breezes blow.

 I have stood and watched the sun rise, from the waters of the sea

 And wondered how much beauty, in this whole world can there be

 My dreams are all worth dreamin' and it makes my life worth while

 To see my pretty Geisha Girl, dressed in Oriental style.

Chorus
