Here now summer’s coming around again
Every year it seems to come in this way
Before you know it you’ve fallen in love
But be sure it’s love before you sail away

You see someone wearing a sunny face
You want to know him anyway that you can
Tell him you’re just in from Shanghai
And his smile you just can’t pass by

Follow him away
Follow him away

Sad to say he hasn’t seen you come by this way
His sunny smile just reflects sunny days
Haven’t you seen his face before
Every year it seems to come this way
Every year it seems to come this way
