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
She gets a hold on a guy 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...

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!

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
(Ba doo ba doo ba doo)
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)
Katmandu
(Katmandu)
She's got the devil moon shining out of her eyes
Baby, I don't need your
Big Bamboo!
