They call her Big Bamboo
   She comes from Katmandu
   She gets a hold on a guy just like a ball and chain
   Baby, I don't need your Big Bamboo
   She likes Fu Manchu
   She's got the devil moon shining out of her eyes
   Baby, I don't need your...
  
   Six feet of heavenly feline foe
   Curvaceously powered from head to toe
   Like a Mandarin goddess too hot for the job
   She has big boys for breakfast like corn on the cob!
   I've been a romeo, smooth and slick
   I've played the tough guy, but she's got that stick
   No matter what I would try on
   She's way ahead of the cocktails
   Way ahead of the tom-tom
  
   Big Bamboo
   She comes from Katmandu

   Baby, I don't need your Big Bamboo
   She likes Fu Manchu
   She's got the devil moon shining out of her eyes
   Baby, I don't need your...
  
   Third degree passions, putting hearts on the grill
   I know some like it hot, but that isn't my kind of thrill
   That line between pleasure and pain can be thin
   But who wants to boogie at the cost of their skin?
   I don't want to be leaned on like a second-rate spy
   Looking over my shoulder till the day that I die
   Don't want to be loved to death by you
   I think you're better off with
   Fu Manchu!
  
   The call her Big Bamboo
   She likes Fu Manchu
   She's got the devil moon shining out of her eyes
   Baby, I don't need your...
  
   Big Bamboo - Big Bamboo - Big Bamboo
   Big, Big, Big Bam - Big Bam - Big Bamboo
   She comes from Katmandu (Katmandu!)
   She gets a hold on a guy like a ball and chain
   Baby, I don't need your Big Bamboo (Big Bamboo)
   Big Bamboo
   (Ba doo ba doo ba doo)
   she's got the devil moon shining out of her eyes
   Baby, I don't need your
   Big Bamboo!
