Sailor Bill McCoy was a daring sailor boy His ship got wrecked a while on a Fiji-Iji isle. He led a savage life and he hunted with a knife He said, "I'll tell you about it-- Don't tell my wife! I've got a Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle. She's waiting there for me, beneath a bamboo tree. Believe me. She's got the other Bimbos beat a mile. She dances gaily, daily; she'd be a hit with Barnum-Bailey. I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle. 'Cause when I go again, I'll stay a while. I've seen wrecks, plenty of wrecks, out on the stormy sea, But, by heck, there never was a wreck Like the wreck she made of me. And all she had was a great big Zulu smile, My little Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle." William's boss said, "Bill, a captain's job you'll fill Upon a ship bound north. Today it's sailing forth. You know, a captain's job is fine." But Bill said, "I decline. I'll take half pay as a sailor on that ship of mine. Because I've got a Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle. She's waiting there for me beneath the bamboo tree. Believe me, She's got the other Bimbos beat a mile. She's a regular, no beggar. She's the Bimbos' chief bootlegger. I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle. And when I go again, I'll stay a while. What's that? What's a 'Bimbo' mean? Boy, take my advice: I'm not sure what a 'Bimbo' means, but a Bimbo's awfly nice. Everybody loves her, even the crocodile, My little Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle. I've got a Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle, She's waiting there for me, beneath the bamboo tree. She's got the other Bimbos beat a mile. She dances gaily, daily, Oh! She plays a mean ukulele. I'll build a bungalow on the Bamboo Isle, 'Cause when I go again, I'll stay a while. I can't forget the day we met. Folks, would you believe, She had on less-- very much less-- Than poor old mother Eve. All she wore was a great big Zulu smile, My little Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle. Lots of dancers that I've seen wear a string of beads, But give this babe a good jazz band And boy, that's all she needs. And all she wears is a great big Zulu smile My little Bimbo down on the Bamboo Isle.
