Lyrics
I have purchased a strip of land
For my honeymoon I have planned
Ten thousand servants fair
Lanterns glare, ev’rywhere
I have christened this window place
“Land of Poppy”
And on my throne a king
To my love I will sing
Refrain
Hoppy poppy queen
To me you seem, just like a dream
With your pretty golden hair
Your face so fair
I’m going to build you a throne in the air
Hoppy poppy if you want me to
The skies of blue, the moon and stars
I’ll give to you
And I will buy you the sunshine
And all the moonlight
Just you and I and we’ll turn on the spoonlight
Hoppy poppy girl of mine
