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
