Well this is an old thread but I suppose it's not too late to post the words. I still often sing this song from memory but I'll have to type out the words:
GEISHA GIRL
Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand Were you met her in a teahouse on the island of Japan And have you ever traveled over many thousand miles To see a pretty geisha girl dressed in oriental style (chorus) They read it in the tealeaves and it's written in the sand I found love by the heart-full in a foreign distant land Tell the home folks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know I love a pretty geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow
I've stood and watched the sunrise from the waters of the sea I've wondered how much beauty in this whole world can there be My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes life worthwhile To see my pretty geisha girl dressed in oriental style (chorus)
