Letra Chincherinchee de Perry Como original
Where the jungle trees are tall Grows a flower sweet to see It's a purdy flower they call 'Chincherinchee!' There a boy sang all day long To a maiden tenderly And he called her in his song 'Chincherinchee!' While the tom toms played He sang his serenade In the moonlight: 'Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine, Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine! Say you'll be mine my whole life through! Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!' Everyone will agree She's as sweet as can be She's so kissable and caress-able 'Chincherinchee!' Everybody can see How exciting is she She's embraceable, irreplaceable 'Chincherinchee!' While the tom toms played He sang his serenade . . . < instrumental verse > Every night they used to meet By a tall banyan tree Where he sang his heart to sweet 'Chincherinchee!' While the tom toms played He sang his serenade In the moonlight: 'Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine, Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine! Say you'll be mine my whole life through! Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!' 'Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine, Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine! Say you'll be mine my whole life through! Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!'
