BORNEO
(Walter Donaldson)


Ben Bernie & His Hotel Roosevelt Orch. (vocal: Scrappy Lambert) - 1928





Way down south, way down in Borneo
There's a wild dance called The Borneo
Way down on Borneo Bay
Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Even though you've got a corn-e-o
You'll dance till the break of dawn-e-o
Right down old Borneo way
Lah-lah-lah-dah-dah-dah

Wild man stands with his clothes all torn-e-o
Toot-toot-toots on his bamboo horn-e-o
And the bamboo babies start to sway

When you see them do that Borneo
You can put your jewels in pawn-e-o
Way down on Borneo Bay
