Under the Bamboo Tree
*ESTHER*
Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
*TOOTIE*
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu
*ESTHER*
From Matabooloo
*TOOTIE*
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
*ESTHER*
A Waitin' there his love to see
*TOOTIE*
And then to her he's sing
*BOTH*
To her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you and we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day, I like-a change your name.
'Cause I love-a you and lov-a you true and if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree
Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
*TOOTIE*
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu
*ESTHER*
From Matabooloo
*TOOTIE*
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
*ESTHER*
A Waitin' there his love to see
*TOOTIE*
And then to her he's sing
*BOTH*
To her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you and we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day, I like-a change your name.
'Cause I love-a you and lov-a you true and if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree
