Lyrics:

Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang X2

Verse:
Oh whatcha gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
A cruel, cruel world

My pins are none too strong, Katie
Hurry up, Mrs Brown
I can feel it coming down
And it won't take none too long

Chorus:
But since you said goodbye
Polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why

Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang


Verse:
Whatcha gonna do Katie?
You're a sweet, sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
A cruel, cruel world

Safety pins are none too strong, Katie
They hold my life together
And I'll never say never
And I'll never say never again

Chorus: x 2
But since you said goodbye
Polka dots fill the skies
And I don't know why

Shoop shoop shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop shoop de-lang-a-lang ect.....

Chorus:
But since you said goodbye
Polka dots fill the skies
And I don't know why

Mrs Doherty how can you be sure? Maybe he just means he took a lot of Polish LSD that makes him see polka dots everywhere? Heheh.

I think 'Since you said goodbye/Polka dots fill my eyes' means tears in his eyes after the girl has left-he is crying. Similarly at the end, polka dots fill the sky -raining? continuing the melancholy imagery

The line "since you said goodbye/ polka dots fill my eyes" makes me think of when you lok at something bright for a long time, then look away, and you see little spots of color. It's like she was a bright shiny part of his life, then when she said goodbye, he's got those little spots of color blocking his vision.
