You said you love me;
I said I love you.
Why won´t you stop your cryin´?  (cryin´, cryin´)

Dry your weeping eyes.
You know that I love - I love - I love - I love you so,
Da-da-dam da-da-damsel.

Here I am, me said,
Come rub it ´pon me belly
Wid you guava jelly,
Da-da-dam da-da-damsel

(Here I stand)  Wo now!
(Come rub it ´pon me belly)  Wo, now!
(Wid you guava jelly)  Wo, now!

I really, really - I really love you;
Yes, I really, really love you, child.
I say you should stop, stop your cryin´
Wipe - wipe your weeping eyes

Tell you how I´m gonna love -
love you from the bottom of my heart
(Damsel)  Oh, damsel!

(Here I am)  Wo, damsel!
(Come rub it ´pon me belly)  Wo, damsel!
(Wid you guava jelly),
Da-da-dam da-da-damsel.

(Here I stand)  I can´t explain,
(Come rub it)  Though the fact still remain (´pon me belly):
I need your love (wid you guava jelly) so much.
Come-a, come-a, come-a, damsel, oh darlin´.

(Here I stand)  Oh, damsel, baby.
Me say (come rub it ´pon me) - me say (belly) -
Me say (wid you guava jelly).
