 I went to a dance just the other night
 I met a girl there she was out of sight
 I asked a friend of mine who she could be
 he said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea

 (chorus)

 Oh Sweet Pea
 come on and dance with me
 come on come on come on and dance with me
 Oh Sweet Pea
 come on and be my girl
 come on come on come on and be my girl

 I walked on over and asked her to dance
 thinkin' maybe later of makin' romance
 but every guy there was thinkin'; like me
 I had to stand in line to get a dance with Sweet Pea

 (chorus repeat)
 I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
 convinced that we oughta get away from there
 we took a little walk I held her close to me
 and underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea

 Oh Sweet Pea I love you can't you see
 Love you love you love you can't you see
 Oh Sweet Pea come on and be my girl
 come on come on come on and be my girl
