Great song. I love the English version. Reminds me of my younger days. Pity it seems impossible to buy a copy anywhere.

@jjsnag Thanks for your remarks, we are both showing our age.

NOTHING more delightful than fishing out a long lost song from one's childhood.

I used to sing this walking home from primary school. Imagine my horror when I found out the other kids could hear me. God knows what sort of lyrics I was making up for it at that age. Nonethless thanks for the post ... great to hear it again after all these years!

Super Lied aber keiner hat die spanische Version, "La estrella de Mykonos", auch eine tolle Version
