Took a little trip to the island of Japan
Saw the greenest eyes peek above a yellow fan
Though she acted shy when I hollered "hi"
Something in her eyes said: Kiss me if you can

(Chorus:)
I wanna squeeze, squeeze, squeeze my butterfly doll
I wanna please, please, please my butterfly doll

I took her for a walk, and she whispered tenderly:
Little Yankee boy, look you like the most of me
When I (...?) kissed her once or twice
Never got a break like this in Tennessee

Chorus

Oh, my little butterfly put a ribbon round my heart
That's the reason why she and I will never part
Moonlight fell like rain, now in lotus lane
What a lovely night for a love to get a start

Chorus

Took her back to the U.S.A., sukiyaki everyday
With my chopstick chick, my butterfly doll (3x)
