Oh Leah, Leah
Oh Leah, Leah
Here I go
From the hut, to the boat, to the sea
For Leah
Gotta go diving in the bay
Get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today
To make a pretty necklace for Leah
Leah
I gotta go deep and find the ones just right
I'll bet my Leah will be surprised tonight
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me
Leah
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Here I go
From the hut, to the boat, to the sea
For Leah
But something is wrong, I cannot move around
My leg is caught, it's pulling me down
But I'll keep my hand shut tight, for if they find me
They'll find the pearls for Leah
And now it's over, I'm awake at last
Old heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
'Bout Leah
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Here I go
Back to sleep, in my dreams, I'll be
With Leah, Leah, Leah
Oh Leah, Leah
Here I go
From the hut, to the boat, to the sea
For Leah
Gotta go diving in the bay
Get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today
To make a pretty necklace for Leah
Leah
I gotta go deep and find the ones just right
I'll bet my Leah will be surprised tonight
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me
Leah
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Here I go
From the hut, to the boat, to the sea
For Leah
But something is wrong, I cannot move around
My leg is caught, it's pulling me down
But I'll keep my hand shut tight, for if they find me
They'll find the pearls for Leah
And now it's over, I'm awake at last
Old heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
'Bout Leah
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Oh Leah, Leah (Leah)
Here I go
Back to sleep, in my dreams, I'll be
With Leah, Leah, Leah
