Moon Above Malaya 1952

Once I found a jungle flower
in a waterfront café,
there we dreamed for many an hour
till my steamer sailed away.

Moon above Malaya
shine down on my sweetheart
sing song girl of the "Eastern Star"
down in a town by the native bazaar
she's all that I adore
from here to Singapore,
soon she'll hear me calling
from my drifting sampan,
then we'll dream in a bamboo hut
no one to care if I'm kissing her but
the Moon above Malaya.

Moon above Malaya
shine down on my sweetheart
sing song girl of the "Eastern Star"
down in a town by the native bazaar
she's all that I adore
from here to Singapore,
soon she'll hear me calling
from my drifting sampan,
then we'll dream in a bamboo hut
no one to care if I'm kissing her but
the Moon above Malaya.
