Vaughn Monroe - Bamboo

Bamboo walls, bamboo ceiling
And the rain come down, seem to say
In a voice so appealing
Go away, oh, don't delay

Though there's bamboo all around me
I vow, I'll find a way
But bamboo has tied and bound me
And I know I'm here to stay

Why do the tom-toms all beat so loudly
Why do the shadows all seem to crowd me?

Can't stop this pounding, pounding, pounding, in my head
Through the night I toss, on my bamboo bed

Bamboo walls, bamboo ceiling
Hold me, though love is gone
In my heart, there is no feeling
But somehow, I carry on

Bamboo walls, bamboo ceiling
Bamboo beam, within my heart (bamboo, bamboo)
