Chorus:
<i>Skipping daily on she goes</i>
<i>Dark as night and bright as stars</i>
<i>She’s a velvet winter’s rose</i>
<i>She’s my darling El-la…</i>
Verse:
<i>She’s a girl with skin so fine,</i>
<i>Kisses sweet as Cretan wine!</i>
<i>Bless my heart, she must be mine!</i>
<i>Oh, my darling El-la…</i>
