Plinky Plunk 1906

Off by the distant China Sea
close by the azure wave
there lived the dainty Plinky Plunk
who loved a sailor bold and brave.
When out of sight the red sun had sunk
under her window there'd glide his Junk,
then while she listened breathless above,
he'd sing his song of love.

Sweetheart, the night breeze calls to me,
Let's sail across the starlit sea,
come to me dainty Plinky Plunk
oh won't you share my humble junk.

Sweetheart, the night breeze calls to me,
Let's sail across the starlit sea,
come to me dainty Plinky Plunk
oh won't you share my humble junk.

Sweetheart, the night breeze calls to me,
Let's sail across the starlit sea,
come to me dainty Plinky Plunk
oh won't you share my humble junk.

Won by his yearning serenade
she clambered down the vine
quickly she sought her sailor boy,
'round him her pretty arms entwine.
Then as across the harbor they sped,
soft on his shoulder
nestled her head
smiling he hummed close by her ear,
that song she loved to hear.

Sweetheart, the night breeze calls to me,
Let's sail across the starlit sea,
come to me dainty Plinky Plunk
oh won't you share my humble junk.

Sweetheart, the night breeze calls to me,
Let's sail across the starlit sea,
come to me dainty Plinky Plunk
oh won't you share my humble junk.

Sweetheart, the night breeze calls to me,
Let's sail across the starlit sea,
come to me dainty Plinky Plunk
oh won't you share my humble junk.
