Bamboo Bamboo

(Chorus)
Look at the bamboo, bamboo
Look at the bamboo, bamboo-lay-lay
Look at the bamboo, bamboo-la-la
I wanna hear you say three times bamboo-lay, bamboo-la-la

I went to a feast at little Zé's place
The table was set outside
So everyone could fit
There were all kinds of silverware
More guys than gals
But there was just nothing to eat (bamboo)

(Chorus)

And at that feast, you know, the one I mentioned
Women without husbands
Had no trouble at all
'Cause those ladies, to avoid starving
Each one took their man
And they didn’t get indigestion (bamboo)

(Chorus)

I know a guy with 17 kids
Who put them all in hiding
So the cops wouldn’t catch him
His wife, still a beauty, promises
To give birth to 17 more
Then she’ll finally stop (bamboo)

(Chorus)(2x)
