Bambooland 1909

Out in the light of a bright tropic night
in a cocoanut tree
sat a bashful chimpanzee.
This pretty miss
for the bliss of a kiss
she was silently longing
in loves sweet ecstasy.
Then through the trees
with graceful ease,
there came to spoon a big Baboon,
who pleaded with this monkey miss
to be his fiancee.
With blushes red to her he said
if you will roam back to my home
and be my wife then a happy life
you will live the live long day.

Bambooland, Bambooland,
if you're for her
and she's for you
that's the place to bill and coo.
Bambooland, Bambooland,
in Bimboo Bamboo
Babe you'll understand
it's simply grand
in Bambooland.

Bambooland, Bambooland,
if you're for her
and she's for you
that's the place to bill and coo.
Bambooland, Bambooland,
in Bimboo Bamboo
Babe you'll understand
it's simply grand
in Bambooland.

This monkey maid was afraid
if she strayed with her love
it would upset het 'rangoutang Papa
If he'd return he'd be stern
if he'd learn
she'd eloped and he'd search
till he found her near and far.
But once again his sweetful refrain
this Baboon bold to her he told
and said Come dear you needn't fear
so please don't answer no.
Her shyness fled and then she said
With loving glance I'll take the chance
when I hear that song
tho' I know it's wrong
to your home I long to go.

Bambooland, Bambooland,
if you're for her
and she's for you
that's the place to bill and coo.
Bambooland, Bambooland,
in Bimboo Bamboo
Babe you'll understand
it's simply grand
in Bambooland.

Bambooland, Bambooland,
if you're for her
and she's for you
that's the place to bill and coo.
Bambooland, Bambooland,
in Bimboo Bamboo
Babe you'll understand
it's simply grand
in Bambooland.
