*ESTHER*

Down in the jungles lived a maid

Of royal blood though dusky shade

*TOOTIE*

A marked impression once she made

Upon a Zulu 

*ESTHER* 

From Matabooloo

*TOOTIE*

And every morning he would be

Down underneath the bamboo tree

*ESTHER*

A Waitin' there his love to see

*TOOTIE*

And then to her he's sing

*BOTH* 

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 lov-a you true and if you-a love-a me

One live as two, two live as one

Under the bamboo tree
