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
