Kiss her and your lips will always want Patricia
Stroll her, see Patricia move with all her charms

Mambo, Cha-cha, or Meringue it's Patricia
Heaven, that's where you'll be when she's in you're arms

??? in Japan they brag about the Geisha
Who cares, long Uncle Sam has got Patricia

Eyes that have a starry sort of gleam for you
She is like a million dollar dream come true

Everybody wishes they'd could steal her heart away, I guess
There's so many trying but she never, never will say yes

Eyes that have a starry sort of gleam for you
She is like a million dollar dream come true

Kiss her and your lips will always want Patricia
Stroll her, see Patricia move with all her charms

??? in Japan they brag about the Geisha
Who cares, long Uncle Sam has got Patricia
