Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: Me Ol' Bamboo

Well, that's all I need, for God's sake
One, four, three, two, one, oh, here we go

Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo

A gentleman's got a walking stick, a seaman's got a gaff
And the merry men of Robin Hood, they used a quarterstaff
On the Spanish plains inside their canes, they hide their ruddy swords
But we make do with an old bamboo, and everyone applauds!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, oh!
Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo

When punting on the beautiful Thames, you use a sturdy pole
To protect their fair complexion, ladies use a parasol
It's useful in the underbrush, to have a hefty spear
Right! But what we do with an old bamboo
Makes everybody cheer!

One, two, three oh!
Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
('Ere we go, mate)

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo

You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo!
