Lyrics
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can’t be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I’ll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Make my dreams come true
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
