Full Lyrics
Near Hoi Ping Road on Causeway Bay
There used to be an alleyway,
Before the high rise came to grow
Seems such a long long time ago.
The bowls of frogs and jellyfish
The smell of bean curd in the air.
The stalls of hundred year old eggs:
She was his flower in the mess!
He saw her each and every day.
He longed for her in every way.
She helped her mama at Bazaar:
He watched so closely from afar
She was his blackeyed Susan,
He dreamed of her day and night.
She was his blackeyed Susan:
His daisy girl of delight!
Each day she'd smile at him so sweet,
He heart would stop or miss a beat.
He finally summoned up the nerve
To say hello to daisy girl.
She was his blackeyed Susan,
He dreamed of her day and night.
She was his blackeyed Susan:
His daisy girl of delight!
Now sixty years have been and gone:
High rise has crushed the shanty town.
Another thing is not the same:
They sell together in the lane!
She is his blackeyed Susan,
He dreams of her day and night.
She is his blackeyed Susan:
His daisy girl of delight!
She is his blackeyed Susan,
He dreams of her day and night.
She is his blackeyed Susan:
His daisy girl of delight!
