Lyrics

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's 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, you're divine
Sweet chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, I love you!"

Everyone will agree
She's as sweet as can be
She's so kissable and caress-able "chincherinchee!"

Everybody can see
How exciting is she
She's 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, you're divine
Sweet chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, I love you!"

"Sweet chincherinchee, you're divine
Sweet chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, I love you!"
