Big Bamboo

I asked my woman what should I do

To make her happy and to keep her true

All she said that I want from you

Is a lickle lickle piece of the big bamboo

A well the big bamboo it grows good and strong

The big bamboo it grows good and long

The big bamboo stand up straight and tall

And the big bamboo please-es one and all

I gave my girl a sugar cane

Suits all my sweets I did explain

She gave it back with a my surprise

She liked the flavour but not the size

A well the big bamboo it grows good and strong

The big bamboo it grows good and long

The big bamboo stand up straight and tall

And the big bamboo please-es one and all

I gave my girl a coconut

She said she like it, it's okay but

There's only one thing that worries me

What good is the nut without the tree

A well the big bamboo it grows good and strong

The big bamboo it grows good and long

The big bamboo stand up straight and tall

And the big bamboo please-es one and all

I met a Chinaman named Dick Bango

He got married went to Mexico

His wife boss him pretty quick

She like bamboo but not chap stick

A well the big bamboo it grows good and strong

The big bamboo it grows good and long

The big bamboo stand up straight and tall

And the big bamboo please-es one and all

The big big bamboo bamboo I
