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.
