Mighty Sparrow – Big Bamboo<br />

<br />

I asked my woman what must I do, what must I do<br />

To make her honest and keep love too, and keep love too<br />

She said Sparrow all I want from you, I want from you <br />

Is a little little piece baby, just a little little piece of the big bamboo<br />

<br />

Well she’s ready for, bamboo, grows out from the ground, bamboo<br />

It’s so big and strong, bamboo stand up straight and tall, bamboo<br />

Please it’s what I want bamboo, tadadada bamboo lalalala bamboo laladedada bamboo tadadada<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

<br />

I gave my woman a coconut , a coconut<br />

She told me she thought, it was ok but, it is ok but<br />

To my surprise she gave it back to me, right back to me<br />

What good is the nut baby, tell me what good is the nut without the tree <br />

<br />

Well she’s ready for, bamboo, grows out from the ground, bamboo<br />

It’s so big and strong, bamboo, stand up straight and tall, bamboo<br />

Please it’s what I want, bamboo, tadadada bamboo lalalala bamboo laladedada bamboo <br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

<br />

I gave my woman a sugarcane, a sugarcane<br />

Very very sweet, I must explain, I must explain<br />

And she gave it back much to my surprise, to my surprise<br />

I love this flavour I really,really love this flavour but not the size<br />

<br />

Well she’s ready for, bamboo, grows out from the ground, bamboo<br />

It’s so big and strong, bamboo, stand up straight and tall, bamboo<br />

Please it’s what I want, bamboo, tadadada bamboo lalalala bamboo laladedada bamboo dubydubydubydoo<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

<br />

Now ever since the world began, the world began<br />

Woman was always fooling man, fooling man<br />

And, but they found out women were always true, always true<br />

To the man then, who would jam them,when they really really would jam them<br />

With the big bamboo<br />

<br />

Well they’re ready for, bamboo, grows out from the ground, bamboo<br />

It’s so big and strong, bamboo, stands up straight and tall, bamboo<br />

Please it’s what I want bamboo, tadadada bamboo lalalala bamboo laladedada bamboo dubydubydubydoo<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

<br />

A Japanese came to America, to America<br />

For a woman he brought out Rockefeller Plaza, Rockefeller Plaza<br />

She said Hai Hai Hai no more Ari Ka Toh, Ari Ka Toh<br />

You show up me with your bridges, <br />

When I only want a few inches at the big bamboo<br />

<br />

Well she’s ready for, bamboo, grows out from the ground, bamboo<br />

It’s so big and strong, bamboo, stands up straight and tall, bamboo<br />

Please it’s what I want bamboo, tadadada bamboo lalalala bamboo laladeda bamboo tadadada<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars<br />

The big big bamboo bamboo lalalala lalalala lalala<br />

Working for the yankee dollars</
