As recorded by Slim Whitman, July 1952:

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
When I'm calling you
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Will you answer too
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
That means I offer my love to you, to be your own
If you refuse me, I will be blue and waiting all alone

But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
And I hear your answering echo so dear
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Then I will know our love will come true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you

(Instrumental Break)

You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you-ooooooo

As recorded by KEELY SMITH:

When the lone lagoon stirs in the Spring
Welcoming home some swany white wing
When the maiden moon ridin' the sky
Gathers her star-eyed children on high
That is the time of the moon and the year
When love dreams to Indian maidens appear
And this is the song that they hear

When I'm calling you-ooo-ooo-ooo, shooby-skooby-doo
Will you answer too-ooby-ooo, shooby-skooby-doo
That means I offer my love to you, to be your own
If you refuse me, I will be blue and waiting all alone
;
But if when you hear my love call shooby-skooby-doo
And I hear your answering shooby-skooby-doo
Then I will know our love will come true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you

But if when you hear my love call shooby-skooby-doo
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you
