Suitors

There are suitors at my door (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

Six or eight or even more (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

And my father wants me wed (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

Or at least that’s what he said (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

CHORUS:

Oh-lay-oh-la (o-a-lay-o-pakia)

Oh-lay-oh-la (o-a-lay-o-pakia)

Oh-lay-oh-la (o-a-lay-o-pakia)

Oh-lay-oh-la (o-a-lay-o-pakia)

- – -

And I said I never will (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

‘Til the rivers run uphill (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

And the fish begin to fly (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

Or the day before I die (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

CHORUS

And my father said to me (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

You will marry and you’ll see (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

That your dreams will all come true (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

In a paradise for two (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

CHORUS

I was married just today (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

And the rivers ran that way (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

And the fish began to fly (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

So tomorrow I must die (O-a-lay-o-pakia)

CHORUS

Pakia!
