Poppy dear, oh Poppy dear, I love your lily-white toes,
your coffee-coloured eyes that tell no lies,
and your pretty little button nose Yeah, your pretty little button nose
Poppy dear, oh Poppy dear, since you came into my life,
All thoughts of fear have disappeared,
along with trouble and strife, yeah
along with trouble and strife.
Poppy dear, oh poppy dear, nobody could love you more,
From the very first day you came my way
And walked in through my door, yeah
You just walked in through my door.
Poppy dear, oh Poppy dear, you soak up all my tears,
When my silly little brain tries to cause me pain,
you just chase away all my fears,
yeah, you just chase away all my fears
Poppy dear, oh, poppy dear, When the cold wind blows at night,
And drives the rain against the window pane,
you just snuggle up nice and tight, yeah, you just snuggle up nice and tight
