Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: Me Ol' Bamboo

Well, that's all I need, for God's sake One, four, three, two, one, oh, here we go Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo A gentleman's got a walking stick, a seaman's got a gaff And the merry men of Robin Hood, they used a quarterstaff On the Spanish plains inside their canes, they hide their ruddy swords But we make do with an old bamboo, and everyone applauds! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, oh! Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo When punting on the beautiful Thames, you use a sturdy pole To protect their fair complexion, ladies use a parasol It's useful in the underbrush, to have a hefty spear Right! But what we do with an old bamboo Makes everybody cheer! One, two, three oh! Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo ('Ere we go, mate) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo You can have me hat or me bumbler shoe But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo!
