Big Bamboo
asked my woman what should I do
To make her happy and to keep her true
All she said that I want from you
Is a likkle likkle piece of the big bamboo
Chorus:
De big bamboo it grows good and strong
The big bamboo grows good and long
The big bamboo stand up straight and tall
And the big bamboo pleases one and all
I gave my girl a sugar cane
Sweets for my sweet I did explain
She gave it back with my surprise
She like the flavor but not the size
(Chorus)
I gave my girl a coconut
She said she like it, its o.k. but
The only thing that worries me
What good is the nut without the tree?
(Chorus)
I met a chinyman named Dick Van Go
He got married went to Mexico
His wife divorce him pretty quick
She like bamboo but not chopstick
(Chorus)
The big, big bamboo, bamboo
Ay yai yai
Money in the land of the Yankee dollar, eh
To make her happy and to keep her true
All she said that I want from you
Is a likkle likkle piece of the big bamboo
Chorus:
De big bamboo it grows good and strong
The big bamboo grows good and long
The big bamboo stand up straight and tall
And the big bamboo pleases one and all
I gave my girl a sugar cane
Sweets for my sweet I did explain
She gave it back with my surprise
She like the flavor but not the size
(Chorus)
I gave my girl a coconut
She said she like it, its o.k. but
The only thing that worries me
What good is the nut without the tree?
(Chorus)
I met a chinyman named Dick Van Go
He got married went to Mexico
His wife divorce him pretty quick
She like bamboo but not chopstick
(Chorus)
The big, big bamboo, bamboo
Ay yai yai
Money in the land of the Yankee dollar, eh
