Verse:

Oh! sweetheart, sweetheart, I've tried my best.

To let you do just as you please.

But my heart, poor heart, won't stand the test,

I find it full of little jealousies.

I've tried and tried to hide it all from you,

But really, dear, it's more than I can do.

 

Chorus:

Jealous of the moon that shines above,

Because it smiles upon the one I love,

I'm jealous of the birdies in the trees,

They're always singing sweetest melodies.

I'm jealous of the pretty flowers too,

I miss the kiss they always get from you.

I'm jealous of the "tick-tock" on the shelf,

I'm even getting jealous of myself.
