Verse 1:
It was many, many years ago.
In a kingdom by the sea,
That maiden there lived, whom you may know.
By the name of Annabel Lee.
And this maiden lived with no other thought.
Than to love and be loved by me.
Oh, I was a child, and she was a child.
In this kingdom by the sea.

Chorus:
Swingin’ love that’s more than love,
Me and my Annabel Lee.
Oh, the angels above, they envied us.
In this jazzy, moonlit spree.

Verse 2:
But the wind blew out of a cloud one night.
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
Her high-born kinsman came and took her away.
Shut her in a tomb by the sea.
Oh, the angels, not half so happy in heaven,
I envy her and me.
Yes, that was the reason (as all men know).
In this kingdom by the sea.

Chorus:
Swingin’ love that’s more than love,
Me and my Annabel Lee.
Oh, the angels above, they envied us.
In this jazzy, moonlit spree.

Bridge:
Oh, but our love was stronger than love.
Of those who were older than us
Many are far wiser than we.
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

Verse 3:
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams.
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee,
And the stars never rise, but I see those eyes.
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And so, all night, I lie down by the side.
Of my darling—my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Chorus:
Swingin’ love that’s more than love,
Me and my Annabel Lee.
Oh, the angels above, they envied us.
In this jazzy, moonlit spree.

Outro:
So here’s to love that’s deep and true,
In this kingdom by the sea.
With a jazz serenade, I’ll sing my blues.
For my darling Annabel Lee.
