richard m. sherman & robert b. sherman - me ol' bamboo lyrics

Loading...

[dancers]
a gentleman’s got a walking stick
a seaman’s got a gaff
and the merry men of robin hood
they used their 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, hey!

me ol’ bamboo, me ol’ bamboo
you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo
you can ‘ave me ‘at or me bumbershoot
but you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo

when punting on the beautiful thames-
[caractacus]
-you use a st-rdy pole
[dancers]
to protect their fair complexion-
[caractacus]
-ladies use a parasol
[dancers]
it’s useful in the underbrush-
[caractacus]
-to have a hefty spear
[dancers]
right!
[all]
but what we do with an ol’ bamboo
and everybody cheers

one, two, three, ho!

me ol’ bamboo, me ol’ bamboo
you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo
you can ‘ave me ‘at or me bumbershoot
but you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo

[caractacus]
a flyer in an “aerioplane”
[dancers]
he steers it with a stick
[caractacus]
he does?
a collier in the pits o’ wales
[dancers]
he leans upon his pick
[caractacus]
that’s right!
[all]
now every wheel of an automobile
revolves around a shaft (hey!)
but what we do with an old bamboo
makes every one go daft

one, two

me ol’ bamboo, me ol’ bamboo
you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo
you can ‘ave me ‘at or me bumbershoot
but you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, hey!
and a one, two, three, four, and a five, and six, and a seven, ho!

me ol’ bamboo, me ol’ bamboo
you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo
you can ‘ave me ‘at or me bumbershoot
but you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo
you better never bother with me ol’ bamboo
