Got a place in the sun A particular one On a tropical avenue; Far away from it all That I happily call The house of singing bamboo On the windier days Seems an orchestra plays On a musical breeze for you; Like a merry salute From a heavenly flute To the house of singing bamboo So here I'll stay, nevermore to roam From my new old-fashioned South Sea home You don't have to count sheep That's for "Little Bo Peep" You can sleep till the sun peeks through; You can dream any dream For you know that your dreams come true When you live in a house In a house of singing bamboo
