Far away in Jimbo Jambo
lives a girl named Simbo Sambo
And they say this little Tambo
steals a heart away.
When they hear her pretty lingo
they fall for this darkskinned Bimbo;
Any one who's been to Jimbo
has this much to say.

I'm goin' back to Jimbo Jambo
Find this little Simbo Sambo;
She's the sweetest Honey Lambo
that you have ever seen.
When this Bimbo starts to dance
to tomtom melodies,
Why she just shakes the coconuts
and fruit right off the trees.
No one knows how much I ambo
crazy 'bout this little Tambo;
I'd live in a hut of bamboo
if she'd settle down.
O, I love her and she loves me.
Oh gee, Oh Gosh!
Oh gosh, Oh gee!
Oh, I don't give a dimbo
for any other Bimbo
in Jimbo Jambo Town.

I'm goin' back to Jimbo Jambo
Find this little Simbo Sambo;
She the sweetest Honey Lambo
that you have ever seen.
When this Bimbo starts to dance
the movements she goes thru'
Would make a jelly fish jump up
and kiss a kangaroo.
No one knows how much I ambo
crazy 'bout this little Tambo;
I'd live in a hut of bamboo
if she'd settle down.
It don't cost much to keep a wife;
a palm tree dresses her for life.
Oh, I don't give a dimbo
for any other Bimbo
in Jimbo Jambo Town.

All the men in Jimbo Jambo
rave about this little Sambo
but the women gab and gambo
ev'ry time they meet.
Over fences made of bamboo
how this little maid they slambo;
Tho' they pan this pretty Tambo
still she can't be beat.

I'm goin' back to Jimbo Jambo
Find this little Simbo Sambo;
She's the sweetest Honey Lambo
that you have ever seen.
When this Bimbo starts to dance
to tomtom melodies,
Why she just shakes the coconuts
and fruit right off the trees.
No one knows how much I ambo
crazy 'bout this little Tambo;
I'd live in a hut of bamboo
if she'd settle down.
O, I love her and she loves me.
Oh gee, Oh Gosh!
Oh gosh, Oh gee!
Oh, I don't give a dimbo
for any other Bimbo
in Jimbo Jambo Town.

I'm goin' back to Jimbo Jambo
Find this little Simbo Sambo;
She the sweetest Honey Lambo
that you have ever seen.
When this Bimbo starts to dance
the movements she goes thru'
Would make a jelly fish jump up
and kiss a kangaroo.
No one knows how much I ambo
crazy 'bout this little Tambo;
I'd live in a hut of bamboo
if she'd settle down.
It don't cost much to keep a wife;
a palm tree dresses her for life.
Oh, I don't give a dimbo
for any other Bimbo
in Jimbo Jambo Town.
