House Of Bamboo Lyrics

Southern Culture On The Skids House Of Bamboo

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 made of sticks.
Sticks and bricks,
But you can get your kicks
In the house of bamboo.

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 drop in when the cats are hoppin`.
Let your two feet move to the big beat;
Pick yourself a kitten and listen to the patter
That rocks the juke-box!

I`m tellin` you,
When you`re blue,
Why there`s a lot to do
In the House Of Bamboo.
