Chincherinchee Lyrics

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's a purdy flower they call Chincherinchee!

There a boy sang all day long
To a maiden tenderly
And he called her in his song Chincherinchee!

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!

Everyone will agree
She's as sweet as can be
She's so kissable and caress-able Chincherinchee!

Everybody can see
How exciting is she
She's embraceable, irreplaceable Chincherinchee!

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade . . .

< instrumental verse >

Every night they used to meet
By a tall banyan tree
Where he sang his heart to sweet Chincherinchee!

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!

Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!
