Oh, Sweet Pea, come on and dance with me;
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea, won't you be my girl?
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl?

I went to a dance just the other night,
I saw a girl there; she was out of sight,
I asked a friend of mine who she could be,
He said that her friends just called her Sweet Pea

Oh, Sweet Pea, come on and dance with me;
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea, won't you be my girl?
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl?

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

Oh, Sweet Pea, come on and dance with me;
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea, won't you be my girl?
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl?

I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear,
Convinced her that we ought to 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, won't you be my girl?
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl?
