(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Venus” by Frankie Avalon express a plea to the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and fertility for a girl to love. The song is addressed to Venus, asking her to send a girl like herself, with all of the charms and beauty that she possesses. The singer asks Venus to make her fair, with sunlight in her hair and the brightness of stars in her eyes. He promises to love her with all that he has to give for as long as they both shall live.


The lyrics use a creative metaphorical comparison between the beauty of the girl the singer seeks and Venus, the goddess of love herself. The song presents a clear message of the singer’s desire for love and affection, and he is willing to plead to a higher power to fulfill this wish. The lyrics speak to the universal desire for love and connection, and the use of Venus as a symbol of beauty and love adds to the poetic and romantic nature of the song.

A beautiful family. I have so much respect for him and his wife. That’s a long time to be married and it’s not a walk in the park sometimes. Look at what they’ve created. I’d love to read a book they would write together about their life. I’m sure they could give some great advice to all couples. Bless Frankie and his family. ❤️
