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! 
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 
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... 
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... 
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... 
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 
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.... 
I called you on the telephone 
And you said: "Billy dear, 
You're bein' mighty silly 
in believin' 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....
