She Wears Red Feathers - Various

(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt)

(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt)

She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea

A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes

And love in her heart for me

I work in a London bank, respectable position

From nine to three they serve you tea

But ruin your disposition

Each night of music calls, rather lost I seem

And once a pearl of a native girl

came smilin' right at me

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt

She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea

A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes

And love in her heart for me

Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a-sailin'

The fourteenth day from Mandalay

I spied her from the railin'

She knew I was on my way

waited and was true

She said "You son of an Englishman

I've dreamed each night of you"

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt

She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish

from the sea

A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes

And love in her heart for me

I went to her Ma and Pa

and said I loved her only

And they both said we could be wed

oh, what a ceremony

An elephant brought her in,

placed her by my side

While six baboons got out bassoons and played

"Here Comes the Bride"

I'm back here in London town and

though it may sound silly

She's here with me and you should see us

walk down Picadilly

The boys at the London bank

kinda hold their breath

She sits with me and sips her tea

which tickles them to death

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt

She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea

A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes

And love

(and love)

in her heart

(in her heart)

for me
