Chincherinchee Lyrics
Perry Como
Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
Its 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, youre divine,
Sweet chincherinchee say youre mine!
Say youll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, I love you!
Everyone will agree
Shes as sweet as can be
Shes so kissable and caress-able chincherinchee!
Everybody can see
How exciting is she
Shes 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, youre divine,
Sweet chincherinchee say youre mine!
Say youll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, I love you!
Sweet chincherinchee, youre divine,
Sweet chincherinchee say youre mine!
Say youll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, I love you!
