[Am] [G] [C]
[C] I worked in a London bank, respectable po-[G]sition,
From nine to three they [C] serve you tea, but [D] ruin your dispo-[G]sition,
Each [F] night at the music hall, [C] travelogues I’d [Dm] see,
And [G] once a pearl of a [C] native girl came [G] smilin' right at [C] me
{c: }
[C] She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm] skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C] skirt,
She [F] lives on just [C] cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em] rose in her [Am] hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G] love in her heart for [C] me
{c: }
[C] She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm] skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C] skirt,
She [F] lives on just [C] cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em] rose in her [Am] hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G] love in her heart for [C] me
{c: }
[Am] [G] [C]
[C] Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a-[G]sailin',
The fourteenth day from [C] Mandalay I [D] spied her from the [G] railin',
She [F] knew I was on my way, [C] waited, and was [Dm] true,
She [G] said, "You son of an [C] Englishman, I've [G] dreamed each night of [C] you"
{c: }
[C] She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm] skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C] skirt,
She [F] lives on just [C] cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em] rose in her [Am] hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G] love in her heart for [C] me
{c: }
[Am] [G] [C]
[C] I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her [G] only,
And they both said [C] we could be wed, oh, [D] what a cere-[G]mony.
An [C] elephant brought her [F] in, [C] placed her by my [Dm] side,
While [G] six baboons got out [C] bassoons and [G] played "Here Comes the [C] Bride"
{c: }
[C] She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm] skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C] skirt,
She [F] lives on just [C] cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em] rose in her [Am] hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G] love in her heart for [C] me
{c: Should change key here - but hey!! }
[C] I'm back here in London town and, though it may sound [G] silly,
She's here with me and [C] you should see us [D] walk down Picca-[G]dilly,
The [F] boys at the London bank [C] kinda hold their [Dm] breath,
She [G] sits with me and [C] sips her tea which [G] tickles them to [C] death
{c: }
[C] She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm] skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C] skirt,
She [F] lives on just [C] cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em] rose in her [Am] hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G] love in her heart for [C] me
