I Asked my woman what could I do
To make her happy and to keep her true
She Said only one thing I want from you
Is a little bitty piece of that big bamboo
She want the big bamboo, always long
The big bamboo grows so bold and strong
The big bamboo stands so straight and tall
The big bamboo pleases one and all
Gave my lady a sugar cane
Sweets to the sweet I did explain
Gave it back to my surprise
Said she liked the flavor but not the size
Gave my lady two coconuts
She said to me this is ok, but
I know you want to be nice to me
But what good are the nuts without the bamboo tree
Gave my lady a banana plant
She said to me this is elegant
It's much to nice to go to waste
Cause it's much too soft to suit my taste
I Knew a China man named Lip Long Lo
He went and married down in Mexico
His wife divorce him very quick
Because she want bamboo and not a lousy chop stick
