 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
