Southern Culture On The Skids - House Of Bamboo lyrics

rate me

Number fifty-four,

The house with the bamboo door,

Bamboo roof and bamboo walls,

They've even got a bamboo floor!

You must get to know Soho Joe,

He runs an Expresso,

Called the House of Bamboo.

It's a made of sticks.

Sticks and bricks,

But you can get your kicks

In the house of bamboo.

Well in this casino, you can drink a chino,

And it's gotcha swingin' to the cha cha

Dance the bolero in a sombrero.

Shake like a snake!

You wanna stop in when the cats are hoppin'.

Let your two feet move-a to the big beat;

Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter

That rocks the juke-box!

I'm-a telling you, when you're blue,

Well there's a lot to do

In the House Of Bamboo.
