Lyrics[]
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
Get yourself a kitten and listen to a platter
That-a rocks the jukebox
I'm-a telling you
A-when you're blue
Well there's a lot to do
In the House Of Bamboo
Go, Jasper!
(Sitar solo for eight bars)
Let's go, Joe!
You must get to know
Soho Joe
He runs an Expresso
Called the House of Bamboo
Well, in this casino, you can drink a chino
Let your two feet move-a to the big beat
Get yourself a kitten and listen to a platter
That rocks
I'm telling you
That when you're blue
Well there's a lot to do
In the House of Bamboo
Number fifty-four
The house with the bamboo door
Bamboo roof and bamboo walls
They've even got a bamboo floor
In the House of Bamboo
Number fifty-four
The house with the bamboo door
Bamboo roof and bamboo walls
They've even got a bamboo floor
In the House of Bamboo
