Tommy Roe helped her get in touch with the proper people, so she could have a copy of this big day in 1967 when she sang with Tommy Roe! She sent me this video a few years ago. She said this: "I was the little girl. It was the summer of 67. It was on Santa Monica beach. I was playing on the other side of the pier when my older sister got me. She asked me if I wanted to be in a movie. When she brought me to the other side of the pier, I was asked to sit next to Tommy Roe. My sister was sitting on the other side of him. the other girls were already there behind Roe. At the time, it was the greatest moment in my life. I was only 14, and I felt he was only singing to me. Actually, Tommy Roe was lip-synching. We could hear the recording, and he was whispering. Even he was strumming his guitar, but it was a quiet strum. We were all told to sing the song along with him. If I had known the camera was on me all that time, I would have been so embarrassed. I thought the camera was on everyone." A #8 hit in 1966 on the Billboard Hot 100.
LYRICS: Oh, Sweet Pea
Come on and dance with me
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl
I went to a dance just the other night
I saw a girl there she was out of sight
I asked a friend of mine who she could be
He said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea
Oh, Sweet Pea
Come on and dance with me
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl
I walked on over and I asked her to dance
Thinkin' maybe later on
We'd be makin' romance
But every guy there was thinkin' like me
I had to stand in line
To get a dance with Sweet Pea
Oh, Sweet Pea
Come on and dance with me
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl
I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
Convinced her that we oughta get away from there
We took a little walk
I held her close to me
And underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea
Oh, Sweet Pea I love you can't you see
Love you, love you, love you can't you see
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl
LYRICS: Oh, Sweet Pea

That little girl is adorable - this might be the best sustained happy face on You Tube!
Dennis Felling ....yes I totally agree...she absolutely exudes charisma!
This is absolutely precious. This young girl’s facial expressions are off-the-charts cute! Thank you for sharing this gem!
Very sweet! That young lady was "in the moment". I recently met Tommy and he's a very nice and gracious person. "Sweet Pea" is one of the catchiest songs ever!

Ron Wells do you happen to know who the host is? At first I thought it was Jimmy ONeil
Such a cute video.
Darrin Nicholson The girl is Darlene and the show is "Where The Action Is", the host is Steve Alaimo
luv this song : ]
Great story.
I was in first grade when they made this and had such a crush on that girl.
We had it all
When one of my grand daughters was born I gave her the nickname of sweet pea....She is now 22 ...I sent this song to her just a few days ago....She was gracious and said thank you Gram...
AWWW, That's sweet!♡
Feel good songs of the past...miss them.
My dad used to sing "oh sweetpea come and dance with me" to me growing up. On day when I was about 23 I heard this song for the first time on the radio. I was amazed he had written a famous song... I'm a dork. 😂
I love tommy roe .. excellent singer
Wish she'd comment here so we could all say Hi to her.
if this little girl was there and knew all the words beforehand ....how was this a ' new single' ....i would love to see her now.....she was my crush all through 67-70.....i'm now 60 and not ashamed to say i woulda loved her for all this time.....
When I was seven years old (around 1968) our teacher was probably in her mid twenties at the time. She would have our class dance to this song about once a week during our recess. I couldn't understand why she always played the same song. She must have thought it was funny seeing all the seven year olds jumping around to "Oh, sweet pea"..
No it's a happy sounding song, that's why. She must have loved to see seven year olds in a happy state of mind.
I agree. We enjoyed it. Our teacher enjoyed it, and our teacher enjoyed seeing us enjoy it.
Angela Salerno And, it would seem this teacher was a fan of Tommy's, as well as this song! 😀
Sweet :-)
Magic !
oh this girl would be in 2018_ 65 years old now. Great video!
This song was where my dada got my nick name =-)
A very nice story! Lucky girl!... Sweet song. Thank you Ron for sharing. - Have a great New Year 2018!
Manuela Costa you are very welcome! Happy New Year 2018 to you too!
I wonder if sweet pea ever agreed to be his girl? The song ended too soon. but I still really like it.
The smile on her face the entire song answers your question :-)
Sure is a sweet pea, just look at her facial expressions..........
Yes I agree!
Too cute!♡
Wonderful Work & Video my friend! Big thumbs up! LG Alex
Schaffelhuber- thank you so much!
Great video :)
I'll bet she didn't wash that cheek for at least a week after Tommy kissed her.
Cute. She looks like Susan Cowsill
She’s a button...bet it made her day and then some
She could not possibly be any cuter...the “cute meter” is pegged! this is pure magic.
Tommy kinda looks like Glen Campbell here.
He's not singing like Buddy Holly in this one.
Yeah, the host at the beginning was pretty hot
It was an illusion, of course. :-)
