Lyrics: Judy Garland. Under the Bamboo Tree.
Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
A waitin' there his love to see
And then to her he'd sing, to her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you
And we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day
I like-a change your name
'Cause I love-a you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree
Of royal blood though dusky shade
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
A waitin' there his love to see
And then to her he'd sing, to her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you
And we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day
I like-a change your name
'Cause I love-a you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree
Garland, Judy
