Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-lup up - up
Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-left
Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-lup up - up
Hi-lee Hi-lo Hi-left

Chorus:
Oh, I was left (left)
Right (right)
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left (left)
Right (right)
Out of your charms
My heart said yes
Right (right)
Right from the start
Now I am left, right
(Right, left)
Out of your heart

-VERSES- (Female version)

1:
Oh, you were such a cute Marine
I really was impressed
You said of all the girls you knew
That you liked me the best
I gave you all my kisses
Surrendered all my charms
But time revealed, you played the field
And I was...left...
(Chorus)

2:
You said you'd look me up, up, up
When you got back to town
But when you hit the city
All you did was look around
I caught you with a red-head
And, baby, tho' you said
You're merely warmin'up for me
I figure I was...left...
(Chorus)

3:
You called me on the telephone
And said: "Suzie dear
You're bein' mighty silly
in believin' all you hear
You know I love you only
So Suzie save your breath"
But, since my name is Cindy Lou
I know that I was...left...
(Chorus)

-VERSES- (Male version)

1:
You said I was a cute Marine
And I was so impressed
You said of all the guys you knew
That you liked me the best
I gave you all my kisses
Surrendered my two arms
But time revealed you played the field
And darling I was...left
(Chorus)

2:
You said to look you up, up, up
When I got back to town
But when I hit the city
All you did was let me down
I caught you with a sailor
And, baby, though you said
I'm merely warmin' up for you
I figured I was...left....
(Chorus)

3:
I called you on the telephone
And you said, Billy dear
You're being' mighty silly
in believing all you hear
You know I love you only
So Billy save your breath
But, since my name is Jimmy
I knew that I was... left....
(Chorus)
