TOMMY ROE- "SWEET PEA " (W/ LYRICS)

TOMMY TOOK THIS SONG TO #8 IN 1966.
LYRICS: 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 call 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 I 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

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 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
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl

Thanks for posting this. I was 15 when this song came out. The violins in the background really made this song.

@skypoetone- you are very welcome!

[asl126]

for some WEIRD reason, this song reminds me of POPEYE and OLIVE OYL.

asl126, a very good reason why the song reminds you of POPEYE and OLIVE OYL, "Sweet Pea" is their baby boy, wearing a sailor's cap and a night shirt. Radio concultants IGNORE this song when programming Golden Oldies radio formats because it doesn't "test well" for God knows why.. It's a dirty crying shame they gotta rotate the same Golden Oldies Top-1000 over and over and over and over again!
