(repeat chorus)      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 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   Won't you be my girl   Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl      I walked on over and I asked her to dance   Thinkin' maybe later on   We'd be makin' romance   But every guy there was thinkin' like me   I had to stand in line   To get a dance with Sweet Pea      (repeat chorus)      I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear   Convinced her 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      (repeat chorus)
