Down In Bom-Bombay 1915

If you're tired of this life,
If you're lonely with one wife,
Take my little tip,
Take your little grip,
Take a little trip to India far away,
Down in BomBombay:

Down in BomBombay
Where the palm trees sway,
where you clap your hands,
then you give commands
to those Indian bands
to play a little tomtom.
There the girlies sway,
in that Oriental way,
ev'ry cat has got nine lives
ev'ry man has got nine wives,
Down in BomBombay.

Down in BomBombay
Where the palm trees sway,
where you clap your hands,
then you give commands
to those Indian bands
to play a little tomtom.
There the girlies sway,
in that Oriental way,
Where you lead the simple life,
ev'ry day a diff'rent wife,
Down in BomBombay.

There the tropic breezes blow,
There the wawwaw bushes grow,
where the girls are nice,
they eat curried rice,
full of red hot spice
in India far away,
Down in BomBombay:

Down in BomBombay
Where the palm trees sway,
where you clap your hands,
then you give commands
to those Indian bands
to play a little tomtom.
There the girlies sway,
in that Oriental way,
ev'ry cat has got nine lives
ev'ry man has got nine wives,
Down in BomBombay.

Down in BomBombay
Where the palm trees sway,
where you clap your hands,
then you give commands
to those Indian bands
to play a little tomtom.
There the girlies sway,
in that Oriental way,
Where you lead the simple life,
ev'ry day a diff'rent wife,
Down in BomBombay.
