I Ain't Going To Mat-A-Loo-Loo! 1914

A lot of coons
they go to Zululand
and then they join
a great big Zulu Band;
and there they try
to win a Zulu's hand,
for far across the deep blue sea.
Those coons can make love
when and where they please,
and live on honey,
just like little bees,
In Bungalows
or 'neath palm trees,
but that is not the way with me.

I ain't going to Matalooloo
Just to win a little Zulu,
That's too far away, 'tis true,
to find a gal that will love you.
It ain't the going that is so paining,
but the trouble is,
remaining far away, yes,
far away in Mataloo

I ain't going to Matalooloo
Just to win a little Zulu,
That's too far away, 'tis true,
to find a gal that will love you.
It ain't the going that is so paining,
but the trouble is,
remaining far away, yes,
far away in Mataloo

Now Zulus lead
such very funny lives,
they live, like bees,
in their little hives,
and ev'ry Zulu
has some twenty wives,
but one is quite enough for me.
I love a maiden
of a dusky hue,
with her I'll paddle
just my own canoe;
It's nearer home than Mataloo,
and, in the moonlight,
to her I say:

I ain't going to Matalooloo
Just to win a little Zulu,
That's too far away, 'tis true,
to find a gal that will love you.
It ain't the going that is so paining,
but the trouble is,
remaining far away, yes,
far away in Mataloo

I ain't going to Matalooloo
Just to win a little Zulu,
That's too far away, 'tis true,
to find a gal that will love you.
It ain't the going that is so paining,
but the trouble is,
remaining far away, yes,
far away in Mataloo..
