Bam Bam Bamy Shore - 1925

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Sept 2001

I could tell you a tale
of ships that sunk,
and trains that left the rail.
I could sing you a song
of lips I kiss'd,
where nights were dark and long.
I've been in ev'ry territory;
Listen, my children to my story:

Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and a thousand sights I saw,
but there ain't no sight
like a moonlight night
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
Oh! a thousand gals I met with,
that I never met before,
but the gal I'll get
is the gal I met
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
I've been in big towns, jazzin' around;
I've been in small towns,
knockin' 'em down.
Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and I ain't so young no more;
but I won't sit pat
till I hang my hat
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.

Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and a thousand sights I saw,
but there ain't no sight
like a moonlight night
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
Oh! a thousand gals I met with,
that I never met before,
but the gal I'll get
is the gal I met
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
I've been in big towns, jazzin' around;
I've been in small towns,
knockin' 'em down.
Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and I ain't so young no more;
but I won't sit pat
till I hang my hat
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.

I could play you a tune
that Spaniards play,
right underneath the moon.
I could dance you a dance
that funny fellers do,
way out in France.
I saw the hulas in Hawaii,
I set Vesuvius on fire.

Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and a thousand sights I saw,
but there ain't no sight
like a moonlight night
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
Oh! a thousand gals I met with,
that I never met before,
but the gal I'll get
is the gal I met
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
I've been in big towns, jazzin' around;
I've been in small towns,
knockin' 'em down.
Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and I ain't so young no more;
but I won't sit pat
till I hang my hat
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.

Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and a thousand sights I saw,
but there ain't no sight
like a moonlight night
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
Oh! a thousand gals I met with,
that I never met before,
but the gal I'll get
is the gal I met
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
I've been in big towns, jazzin' around;
I've been in small towns,
knockin' 'em down.
Oh! a thousand miles I travel'd,
and I ain't so young no more;
but I won't sit pat
till I hang my hat
on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
