Geisha Girl (1957)
Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand?
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
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 dreaming and it makes my life worthwhile
To see my pretty Geisha Girl, dressed in Oriental style
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
