Betty: (spoken)
You can wish upon a star,
It makes no difference who you are.
Just do the simple things I do,
And all your wishes will come true.

Betty: (sung)
I have a wishing well.
I gotta fill the wishing well,
I'm gonna make my dreams come true,
And every wish will be 'bout you.

(First wish:) I'm gonna make a-you mine.
(Second wish:) You'll love me all the time.
(Third wish:) You'll make my dreams come true-oo.
(Fourth wish:) 'Cause all I want is you-oo.
(Fifth wish:) We'll never, never fight.
And we'll step out Friday night.
(Sixth wish:) You'll buy me pretty things.
(Seventh wish:) I get to wear your ring.

Wishing well,
I got myself a wishing well,
I'm gonna make my dreams come true,
And every wish will be 'bout you.

Instrumental break with rhythmic clapping.

(Ahhh.) (Ahhh.) (Ahhh.) (Ahhhhhhhhh.)

Wish, wish, wish you were mine. Hey!
Wish, wish, wish you were mine. Hey!

(Eighth wish:) There'll never be goodbye.
(Ninth wish:) Without my love you'll di-ie.
(Tenth wish:) You kiss with all your heart.
(Eleventh wish:) We'll never, never part.

Wishing well,
I got myself a wishing well,
Fade.
I'm gonna make my dreams come true,
And every wish'll be about you.

1Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss1a, formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."

1aBecause Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.

2Covered by: No covers found.

3This single, although it was recorded in 1964 wasn't released until 1994,
when it was put in a compilation.
