Well…
I came to on the beach
Somebody pushing up and down on my chest
I was coughing salty water
Up above me, Leah looking mighty distressed
She said, “Baby, you’re so lucky
You nearly went to your final rest”
Well, my hand was clenched
I was still holding that pearl so tight
When they prized my fingers open
Leah’s dark eyes opened up so wide
I heard her say, “I love you, baby
Oh, my heart is nearly bursting my side”
Leah, Leah
Leah
Leah
Now Leah’s really mine
We got a hut and a boat by the sea
And every Saturday night, she wears that pearl for everybody to see
She says, “This is my man
Look at what he did for me”
Leah, Leah
Leah
Leah
Now I’m working in the cannery
Hosing down the floor for her old man
And I’m hoping I get used to it
‘Cause Leah’s got a 10 year plan
She’s hidden my snorkels
And says I’m never going diving again
Leah, Leah
Leah
Leah
Leah, Leah
Leah, Leah
Leah, Leah
