Sing Song Lee was a cute Chinee
and she worked in her father's shop,
She sang all day in her Chinese way
'till a Mandarin chanced to stop
at the window where he began to stare
then went in to buy some tea,
But he lost his head
and his heart instead
the moment he met Sing Song Lee.

My Sing Song girl,
My Hong Kong pearl,
You know how much I admire you,
I'll show how much I desire you.
Won't you belong to me,
My brain's awhirl
My heart I hurl,
I want my arms around you
I'm glad so glad I found you,
My pearl of the Orient,
My Sing Song girl.

My Sing Song girl,
My Hong Kong pearl,
You know how much I admire you,
I'll show how much I desire you.
Won't you belong to me,
My brain's awhirl
My heart I hurl,
I want my arms around you
I'm glad so glad I found you,
My pearl of the Orient,
My Sing Song girl.

Now this Mandarin
who had vowed to win,
This cute little Chinese maid
told her Chinese Pa and her Chinese Ma,
and much gold for her he paid.
Soon without a doubt Chinese bells rang out
and the people sang with glee,
in their Chinese way,
on the wedding day
of the Mandarin and Sing Song Lee.

My Sing Song girl,
My Hong Kong pearl,
You know how much I admire you,
I'll show how much I desire you.
Won't you belong to me,
My brain's awhirl
My heart I hurl,
I want my arms around you
I'm glad so glad I found you,
My pearl of the Orient,
My Sing Song girl.

My Sing Song girl,
My Hong Kong pearl,
You know how much I admire you,
I'll show how much I desire you.
Won't you belong to me,
My brain's awhirl
My heart I hurl,
I want my arms around you
I'm glad so glad I found you,
My pearl of the Orient,
My Sing Song girl.
