Jimbo-Jambo

by Billy Murray

on Comic Jazz Songs (Encore 6) [Recorded 1919-1922] (2015)

Now in the land of Jimbo Jambo
Lives a girl called Simbo Sambo
And they say that little tambo
Steals your heart away

When they hear her pretty lingo
They fall for this dark-skinned bimbo
Anyone who's been to Jimbo
Has this much to say

I'm going back to Jimbo Jambo
Find that little Simbo Sambo
She's the sweetest honey lambo
That you've ever seen

When this bimbo starts to dance
To tom-tom melodies
She just shakes the coconut
And fruit right off the tree

No one knows how much I am-bo
Crazy bout this little tambo
I'd live in a hut of bamboo
If she'd settle down

Oh _____
_____ is hot
Oh what pretty eyes she's got
Oh, I don't give a dam-bo
For any other bimbo
In Jimbo Jambo Town

Now When that bimbo starts to dance
Everyone's her slave
She danced at the sea shore once
And made the ocean wave

I love her, she loves me
Gee oh gosh oh gosh oh gee

I'm going back to Jimbo Jambo
Find that pretty little Simbo Sambo
She's the sweetest honey lambo
That you've ever seen

Now when that bimbo starts to dance
Moon comes peeping through
She makes a jelly bean jump up
And kiss a kangaroo

I love her, she loves me
Gee oh gosh oh gosh oh gee
And I don't give a dam-bo
For any other bimbo
In Jimbo Jambo Town

I'm going back to Jimbo Jambo
Find this little Simbo Sambo
She's the sweetest honey lambo
That you've ever seen

When this bimbo starts to dance
To tom-tom melodies
She just shakes the coconut
And fruit right off the tree

No one knows how much I am-bo
Crazy bout this little tambo
I'd live in a hut of bamboo
If she'd settle down

Oh _____
_____ is hot
Oh what pretty eyes she's got
Oh, I don't give a dam-bo
For any other bimbo
In Jimbo Jambo Town
