Was a sunny day

Not a cloud was in the sky

Not a negative word was heared

From the people passing by

Was a sunny day

All the birdies in the trees

And the radio's singing song

All the favorite melodies

He was a navy man

Stationed in newport news

She was a high school queen

With nothing left to lose

Chorus

Her name was lorelei

She was his only girl

She called him speedoo

But his christian name

Was mr.earl

Chorus
