A boy found a dream upon a distant shore
A maid with a way of whispring: Si senor
Each night while guitars would softly play
The tune seemed to dance 'round the words that he'd say
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like that lovely flow'r so sweet and heavenly
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you, it seems to beat a Rhapsody
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it's endearing charm from you
Amapola, Amapola, how I long to hear you say: I love you
The boy left his love upon a distant shore
And sailed from the one his arms were longing for
He vowed he'd return one sunny day
Once more to repeat what his heart had to say
