Everybody needs somebody
Even if it's only me
Stops your crying sweet peas
And try to go to sleep
I don't know how you got here
I don't know if you cares
You could have come from heaven
Or a typhoon anywhere
Well me I came from heaven
Of Catalina lagoon
And I was told me mammy
Gave me up in a typhoon
So don't you cry, little Swee'pea
You and me, we're both the same
And the biggest tear I ever seen
Came from the eye of a hurricane
Go to sleep, sleep sleepy
Now tell me what you see
And someday when you are older
I'll tell you all about me
Even if it's only me
Stops your crying sweet peas
And try to go to sleep
I don't know how you got here
I don't know if you cares
You could have come from heaven
Or a typhoon anywhere
Well me I came from heaven
Of Catalina lagoon
And I was told me mammy
Gave me up in a typhoon
So don't you cry, little Swee'pea
You and me, we're both the same
And the biggest tear I ever seen
Came from the eye of a hurricane
Go to sleep, sleep sleepy
Now tell me what you see
And someday when you are older
I'll tell you all about me
