On the Cannibal Isle
the sun does smile most all the while;
Lives a little maid
'neath bamboo shade 'mong everglade
Lovers plenty, she had twenty
but no one would do;
Then came wooing, came a cooing
tales of love so true.
Great big loon
how they'd spoon
there'll be a honeymoon.

'Way down on the Cannibal Isle
where the sweetest breezes beguile
in jungle row,
where bamboos grow,
they're happy in their bungalow.
Oh, oh, oh!
When the stars shine down from above,
on his dusky love
she's his oogie, oogie
and he's her woogie, woogie,
down on the Cannibal Isle.

'Way down on the Cannibal Isle
where the sweetest breezes beguile
in jungle row,
where bamboos grow,
they're happy in their bungalow.
Oh, oh, oh!
When the stars shine down from above,
on his dusky love
she's his oogie, oogie
and he's her woogie, woogie,
down on the Cannibal Isle.

'Neath the jungle moon
this big baboon
would sit and spoon
with his dusky bride
close by his side,
their love confide
hugging, kissing, never missing
all the whole day through.
They are happy, never scrappy,
under the bamboo;
That's the style, all the while,
down on the Cannibal Isle.

'Way down on the Cannibal Isle
where the sweetest breezes beguile
in jungle row,
where bamboos grow,
they're happy in their bungalow.
Oh, oh, oh!
When the stars shine down from above,
on his dusky love
she's his oogie, oogie
and he's her woogie, woogie,
down on the Cannibal Isle.

'Way down on the Cannibal Isle
where the sweetest breezes beguile
in jungle row,
where bamboos grow,
they're happy in their bungalow.
Oh, oh, oh!
When the stars shine down from above,
on his dusky love
she's his oogie, oogie
and he's her woogie, woogie,
down on the Cannibal Isle.
