[Intro 1]
[D][E][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Far away in [G]Jimb[Bm]o Jambo
Lives a girl named Simbo [G]Sam[Bm]bo
[F#]And they say that [Bm]little tambo
[C#]steals your heart [F#]away
[Bm]When they hear her pretty lingo
They fall for this dark- skinned bimbo
[E]Anyone who's [A]been to Jimbo
[E]has this much to [A]say
[D]I'm going back to Jimbo Jambo
[E]Find this little Simbo Sambo
[A]She's the sweetest honey [D]lambo
that you've [Abdim]ever seen[D]
[F#]When [E]this bimbo [F#]starts [E]to [F#]dance
to [Bm]tom- tom [F#]melod[Bm] ies
Why [E]she [D]just [E]shakes [D]the [E]coconut[D][E]
[A]and fruit right off the tree
[D]No one knows how much I am- bo
[E]Crazy bout this little tambo
[A]I'd live in a hut of bamboo
[F#]if she'd settle down
Oh, [B]I love her
and she loves me
Oh [E]gee, oh gosh
Oh gosh, oh [A]gee
Oh, I [D]don't give a timbo
for any other bimbo
[Bm]in J[E]imbo Jambo[A] Town[D]
[G][F#][Bm][G][F][F#]
[Bm]All the men in J[G]im[Bm]bo Jambo
rave [G]about [Bm]this little [G]sambo
[F#]But the women [Bm]gab and g[C#]ambo
every time they [F#]meet
[Bm]Over fences [G]made [Bm]of bamboo
How this little maid they [E]slambo
Though they pan this [A]pretty tambo
[E]Still she can't be [A]beat
[D]I'm going back to Jimbo Jambo
[E]Find this little Simbo Sambo
[A]She's the sweetest honey [D]lambo
that you've [Abdim]ever seen[D]
[F#]All [E]they do [F#]is sing and dance
[Bm]It's just [F#]a la[Bm]nd of[Abdim] joy[E][D][E][D][E]
[D]I've [E]heard gray- haired dad
[A]dies holler
[E]"Ma! Come get [A]your boy!"
[D]No one knows how much I am- bo
[E]Crazy bout this little tambo
[A]I'd live in a hut of bamboo
[F#]if she'd settle down
It don't cost much to keep a [B]wife
A palm [E]tree dresses one for life
[A]Oh, I [D]don't give a timbo
for any other [Bm]bimbo
[E]in Jimbo [A]Jambo [D]Town
Right this way
Step this [F]way[E][D][E][F][E][F]

Wait til you see Simbo's movements
Every [F#]one with[E][F#][Bm][F#][Bm]
[E]lat[D]e improvement[E][A]
[D]Friends, [E]at[A][C#][F#]
shimmying
[B]she's a master
She'll shake off
a porridge(?) plaster
She's imported
Hot Tobasco
Aaah
Make way, yokums(?)
[E]Here she comes
Not much style
Not much speed
but [A]boy, she shakes a wicked weed
Oh, I [D]don't give a timbo
for any other bimbo
in [E]Jimbo [A]Jambo Town
