See me sitting in the palmtree

Looking down at people passing by

Sitting here no-one can harm me

They just stare at me and wonder why

No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here

Whatever happens, I won't let no-one near

Until you tell me, Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind, won't you please

You really love me, Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now

And in the evening, when the sun goes down

Waiting for those little words from you

But I will stay here, among my coconuts

So you will know dear, you're everything I've got

No-one else but you can calm me

You should know by now I'm far too proud

I need to show you, I've got my feelings too
