Lyrics

Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth
Tell me why you're weeping?
Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth
When you should be sleeping?
What secret are you keeping
Jessye' Lisabeth, pray tell?
What could cause such bitter tears?
What lesson has life taught you?
Hear me sweet and precious one
Look what I have brought you
Here's a star I caught you
For my lady fair, a star
Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth
What can I do for you?
Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth
Fair maiden, I implore you
Oh, how I adore you
Your humble servant I remain
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo
Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth
Oh, how I have missed you
Now, you must dry your pretty eyes
I'm here to assist you
Come let Mama kiss you
Twelve o'clock and all is well
