Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu
From Matabooloo
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
A Waitin there his love to see
And then to her he's sing
To her he'd sing
If you like a me like I like a you and we like a both the same
I like a say this very day I like a change your name
Cause I love a you and lov a you true and if you a love a me
One live as two two live as one
Under the bamboo tree
