[Verse 1]
Well, I came to on the beach
Somebody pushing up and down on my chest
I was coughing salty water
Up above me, Leah looking mighty distressed
She said, "Baby, you’re so lucky
You nearly went to your final rest"
Well, my hand was clenched
I was still holding that pearl so tight
When they prised my fingers open
Leah’s dark eyes opened up so wide
I heard her say, "I love you, baby
Oh, my heart is nearly bursting my side"

[Chorus]
Leah, Leah
Leah
Leah

[Verse 2]
Now Leah’s really mine
We got a hut and a boat by the sea
And every Saturday night
She wears that pearl for everybody to see
She says, "This is my man
Look at what he did for me"
[Chorus]
Leah, Leah
Leah
Leah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now I’m working in the cannery
Hosing down the floor for her old man
And I’m hoping I get used to it
'Cause Leah's got a ten year plan
She’s hidden my snorkel
Says I’m never going diving again

[Chorus]
Leah, Leah
Leah
Leah
Leah, Leah
