She Wears Red Feathers Lyrics

Artist: Guy Mitchell

She Wears Red Feathers
Guy Mitchell
Written by Bob Merrill

- Peaked at # 19 in 1953

(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt)
(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt)
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

I work in a London bank, respectable position
From nine to three they serve you tea
But ruin your disposition
Each night of music calls, rather lost I seem
And once a pearl of a native girl came smilin' right at me

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a-sailin'
The fourteenth day from Mandalay I spied her from the railin'
She knew I was on my way, waited, and was true
She said "You son of an Englishman, I've dreamed each night of you"

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her only
And they both said we could be wed, oh, what a ceremony
An elephant brought her in, placed her by my side
While six baboons got out bassoons and played "Here Comes the Bride"

I'm back here in London town and, though it may sound silly
She's here with me and you should see us walk down Picadilly
The boys at the London bank kinda hold their breath
She sits with me and sips her tea which tickles them to death

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
And love (and love) in her heart (in her heart) for me

by Georgia on 7/5/2008 4:15pm My dad used to sing this when i was little ,, its a good song lmao :L x
by Angela Stevens on 7/16/2008 10:38am 4th line in second verse should read as follows: "Each night at the Music Hall, travelogues I'd see" !!! (and IIRC the end of the next line should read "keep smiling down at me") Well done otherwise - they don't write 'em like that any more. A Guy Mitchell lifelong fan
by John Roberson on 4/3/2009 5:59pm I agree with Angela that they don't wreite 'em like that anymore. Fantastic - super voice - backed by a dynamite full orchestra. No wimpy MIDI or sythesizer here. Just great music !!
by ROB on 6/26/2009 1:20am I'M GOING TO SING "SHE WEARS RED FEATHERS" AT MY AUDITION FOR..... YES...."BRITAIN GOT TALENT" HAM IT UP ABIT ETC. WISH ME LUCK..........
