Queen of the Bungalow 1903 'The Rogers Bros. in London'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 Nov 2004

There once dwelt a maiden
they called Waneeta,
down in the tropic climate warm,
the belle of the tribe
no maiden was sweeter,
her style of dress showed perfect form;
From o'er the water
to nature's daughter
Big Fiji Chief plied his canoe,
he came to court her
he kindly brought her
beads and feathers too.
Won her affections too
when he began to coo.

My Waneeta say you'll go
to my shady bungalow
for I love you Sulu babe! I do
for you are just as sweet as the honey dew,
in my little bamboo canoe,
I'se a waiting out here for you,
won't you go with your beau
to where the palm trees grow
and be the Queen of the Bungalow.

My Waneeta say you'll go
to my shady bungalow
for I love you Sulu babe! I do
for you are just as sweet as the honey dew,
in my little bamboo canoe,
I'se a waiting out here for you,
won't you go with your beau
to where the palm trees grow
and be the Queen of the Bungalow.

With sad tears of sorrow,
this dusky maiden,
now in the bunglow mourns her fate,
with wives this Fiji is much overladen,
Waneeta's number ninety eight,
the more to grieve her,
this dark deceiver
tells her these gals of ev'ry hue
I got together with beads and feathers,
same way I got you.
In my bamboo canoe
when I began to coo.

My Waneeta say you'll go
to my shady bungalow
for I love you Sulu babe! I do
for you are just as sweet as the honey dew,
in my little bamboo canoe,
I'se a waiting out here for you,
won't you go with your beau
to where the palm trees grow
and be the Queen of the Bungalow.

My Waneeta say you'll go
to my shady bungalow
for I love you Sulu babe! I do
for you are just as sweet as the honey dew,
in my little bamboo canoe,
I'se a waiting out here for you,
won't you go with your beau
to where the palm trees grow
and be the Queen of the Bungalow.
