Ali Kali JimJamJhee,
The Boojum of Abyssinia,
Last Good Friday, by the sea,
at the Bandstand met dear Virginia.
Said she: "I cruise on Papa's yacht,"
Said he: "Great Scott!
Then who knows but what!"

I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
Abyssinia some day!
Where the monkeys
play at pingpong
and have a singsong
along 'o King Kong.
I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
on The Congo
and if you can't go
to Abyssinia
then I'll be seein' ya
I'll be seein' ya
by the sea next year!

I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
Abyssinia some day!
Where the monkeys
play at pingpong
and have a singsong
along 'o King Kong.
I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
on The Congo
and if you can't go
to Abyssinia
then I'll be seein' ya
I'll be seein' ya
by the sea next year!

She said: "Big chief, I'll be there,"
And he said: "In Abyssinia,
I'll sack all my wives most fair,
They are too fat,
I like 'em skinnier!
On gilded camels you shall ride
or a spotted leopard,
and ride inside!"

I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
Abyssinia some day!
Where the monkeys
play at pingpong
and have a singsong
along 'o King Kong.
I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
on The Congo
and if you can't go
to Abyssinia
then I'll be seein' ya
I'll be seein' ya
by the sea next year!

I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
Abyssinia some day!
Where the monkeys
play at pingpong
and have a singsong
along 'o King Kong.
I'll be seein' ya in Abyssinia
on The Congo
and if you can't go
to Abyssinia
then I'll be seein' ya
I'll be seein' ya
by the sea next year!
