I said I love you.
Why won't you stop your cryin'? (cryin', cryin')
Dry your weeping eyes.
You know that I love - I love - I love - I love you so,
Da-da-dam da-da-damsel.

Wid you guava jelly,
Da-da-dam da-da-damsel

Yes, I really, really love you, child.
I say you should stop, stop your cryin' Wipe - wipe your weeping eyes
Tell you how I'm gonna love -

(Damsel) Oh, damsel!
(Here I am) Wo, damsel!
