Venus Lyrics

Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you

Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me

Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task

Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live

Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task

Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live

Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Make my wish come true

Venus Song Chart

This song is about a man who prays to the goddess Venus to send him a woman who is basically her human equivalent. Venus was the Roman goddess of love, beauty and fertility. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)

This was the first of two US #1 singles by Avalon, who was a former trumpeter - the other was "Why." It was also the first US Top 10 hit that Avalon sang without holding his nose. He held his honker on earlier hits "Dede Dinah" (#7) and "Ginger Bread" (#9).

Al Martino was offered this song before Avalon, but he turned it down. Like Avalon, Martino was a popular Italian-American singer who was also an actor - he played Johnny Fontane in The Godfather.

Avalon's recording career started when Chancellor Records president Bob Marcucci signed him up after he saw Avalon sitting on a street curb. He became a teen idol, and went on to fame starring in beach movies with Annette Funicello. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 3)
