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 I'll be the bluest of men in this town 'Cause I love you, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
See me sitting in the palmtree Waiting for those little words from you People laugh and point their fingers Like I was a monkey at the zoo But I will stay here, among my coconuts So you will know dear, you're everything I've got Now won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please
See me sitting in the palmtree Feeling angry at the silly crowd 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 You shouldn't treat me like you always do
