Lyrics
1. My love, my little lady
Is a charming Chin-ee maid-ee
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
She has made me sentimental
With her ways so oriental
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
She don’t understand my talkin’
I don’t understand her walkin’
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
Tho’ my love’s as deep as oceans
We can only talk in motions
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
CHORUS
Pinky Panky Poo
I want to woo, woo, woo, woo, woo you
But when I ask her for her hand-ee
She just says, “Me no understand-ee
Pinky Panky Poo
You are a loo-loo, loo-loo, loo-loo
You’ve a funny, funny nam-ee
But I love you “al-la sam-ee”
Pinky Panky Poo
2. Her father’s name’s Hop Luey
and he makes fine Chop-ee Suey
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
When I asked him for his daughter
I found I was in hot water
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
From his pigtail I detects it
That it was my “queue” to exit
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
But I bought him “much-ee drink-ee”
Then he gave to me his Pinky
O…Oh, O…Oh, O…Oh
