Under the Bamboo Tree Lyrics - Meet Me In St. Louis Soundtrack

Esther:
now.
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 a bamboo tree

Esther:
awaitin' there his love to see

Tootie:
and then to her he'd sing

Both:
to her he'd sing

Esther:
vamp.

Both:
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
