Lyrics
See me sitting in the palm tree
Expressing the act of being in a palm tree, observing the surroundings.
Looking down at people passing by
Watching people pass by from the vantage point of the palm tree.
Sitting here no-one can harm me
Feeling safe and protected while sitting in the palm tree.
They just stare at me and wonder why
People stare and wonder about the singer sitting in the palm tree.
No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here
Deciding to stay aloft in the palm tree, avoiding interference.
Whatever happens, I won't let no-one near
Determined to keep a distance from others, regardless of what happens.
Until you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind, won't you please
Expressing a desire for attention and affection from someone named Jeanie.
You really love me, Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
Praising Jeanie, expressing admiration and affection towards her.
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
Anticipating a melancholic evening when the sun sets, feeling down without Jeanie.
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
Expecting to be deeply affected emotionally in the town due to missing Jeanie.
'Cause I love you, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
Reiterating love for Jeanie, reinforcing the emotional impact of her absence.
See me sitting in the palm tree
Repeating the scene of sitting in the palm tree, waiting for communication from Jeanie.
Waiting for those little words from you
Waiting for affectionate words from Jeanie, despite the ridicule from others.
People laugh and point their fingers
Describing the negative reactions of people who mock the singer like a monkey in a zoo.
Like I was a monkey at the zoo
Comparing the singer's situation to being an object of amusement in a zoo.
But I will stay here, among my coconuts
Committing to staying in the palm tree, emphasizing the importance of Jeanie.
So you will know dear, you're everything I've got
Stating that Jeanie is everything the singer has, expressing deep attachment.
Now won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
Requesting affectionate words from Jeanie once again.
Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window
Describing the environment with poetic elements - winds, stars, and a light in a window.
Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please
Asking the elements of nature to convey a message to Jeanie.
See me sitting in the palm tree
Revisiting the scene of sitting in the palm tree, expressing frustration with the crowd.
Feeling angry at the silly crowd
Feeling angry and emphasizing that only Jeanie can calm the singer.
No-one else but you can calm me
Highlighting the singer's pride and the difficulty in calming down without Jeanie.
You should know by now I'm far too proud
Asserting the need for recognition and understanding of the singer's feelings.
I need to show you, I've got my feelings too
Expressing a desire to show emotional vulnerability and be treated with respect.
You shouldn't treat me like you always do
Challenging the way Jeanie treats the singer and asking for understanding.
So won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind, won't you please
Repeating the plea for love and attention from Jeanie.
You really love me, Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
Reiterating admiration for Jeanie and emphasizing her fine qualities.
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
Anticipating a difficult evening without Jeanie, feeling emotionally affected.
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
Expecting to be deeply affected emotionally in the town due to missing Jeanie once again.
'Cause I love you, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
Repeating the declaration of love for Jeanie.
Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine
Repeating admiration for Jeanie's qualities.
Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
Repeating the presence of Jeanie in the singer's thoughts.
Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine
Repeating admiration for Jeanie's qualities.
Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
Repeating the presence of Jeanie in the singer's thoughts.
Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine
