Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand

For you've 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 heartful in a foreign distant land

Tell the homefolks 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 sunrise from the waters of the sea

And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can that be

My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while

To see my pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style

They read it in the Tealeaves...
