When an old friend comes to greet you
Or a new friend comes to meet you
And you're looking for the proper words to say
You will be a big sensation in the art of conversation
If you start the conversation and you say
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Bless your pea pickin' heart
For a greeting or a meeting, keep repeating and repeating
Bless your pea pickin' heart
When you keep the date you're dating waiting hours
If you have to miss your sister's high school play
When you prune away your neighbors favorite flowers
They will all forgive you if you smile and say
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Tell your waiting date and sister, tell your neighbor listen mister
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Now when Junior paints his room in purple splendor
When your party line ties up your line all day
When your wife comes home with someone else's spender
Then you'd better count to ten and softly say
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Why'd it grey, why let it get you, smile and say when they upset you
Bless your pea pickin' heart
If the one you love should leave you for another
And you're sure there is no cure for your dismay
Do not pack a grip and take a trip to mother
'Cause the one you love won't leave you if you say
Bless your pea pickin' heart
Bless your pea pickin' heart
She won't leave you if you tell her, she'll believe you if you tell her
Bless your pea pickin' heart
