[Verse 1]
I'm a [C]travelin' man and I've [Am]made a lot of stops
[C]All over the wor[Am]ld
And in [C]every port I [F]own the heart
Of at [C]least one [G]lovely [C]girl[G]
I've a [C]pretty señorita [Am]waiting for me
[C]Down in old Mexico[Am]
And if you're [C]ever in Alaska [F]stop and see
My [C]cute little [G]Eski[C]mo

[Chorus 1]
Oh, my [F]sweet Fraulein down in [Em]Berlin town
[F]Makes my heart start to yea[C]rn
And [F]my China doll down in [Em]old Hong Kong
[D]Waits for my retur[G]n

[Verse 2]
Pretty [C]Polynesian baby [Am]over the sea
[C]I remember the nig[Am]ht
When we [C]walked in the sands of the [F]Waikiki
And I [C]held you, [G]oh so [C]tight[G]
