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
