'The House Of Bamboo' - Andy Williams ( 1958 )

Lyrics of this song 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 a 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 stop in when the cats are hoppin'
Let your two feet move-a to the big beat
Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter
That rocks the juke-box

I'm-a telling you
When you're blue
Well there's a lot to do
In the House Of Bamboo

You've got to know
Soho Joe
He runs an Expresso
Called the house of bamboo

In this casino, you can drink a chino
Let your two feet move-a to the big beat
Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter
That rocks

I'm-a telling you
When you're blue
Well there's a lot to do
In the house of bamboo

Number fifty-four
The house with the bamboo door
Bamboo roof and bamboo walls
They've even got a bamboo floor
In the house of bamboo
