I've been to Bombay |
|
I've seen what a man can do |
|
He climbs up a straight rope |
|
Right up to the clear full-moon |
|
And 'boom', he is gone |
|
Yeah, heaven is not that far |
|
And limbs from a body are falling down on the ground |
|
Gee! It must be hard to do |
|
Yes, it is true, yes, it is true |
|
I think the limbs belonged to an orang-outang, |
|
Orang-outang, orang-outang |
|
I've been to Bombay |
|
I've seen what a man can do |
|
He climbs up a straight rope |
|
A monkey is with him too |
|
And 'boom', he's gone to heaven |
|
He's mighty daring, mighty, |
|
Right he must be some kind'a guru |
|
He's out of orbit, out of orb... |
|
It seems as if the rope was held by one of the Gods, |
|
One of the Gods |
|
So tight! Not like elephants' trunks |
|
They wobbly-wob, wobbly-wob, wobbly-wob |
|
I've been to Bombay |
|
I've been to Bombay |
|
In my youth |
|
I've been to Bombay |
|
I've been to Bombay |
|
In my youth |
|
YaYaeeaoouth! |
|
And 'boom', he's gone to heaven |
|
He's mighty daring, mighty right |
|
He must be some kind'a guru |
|
He's out of orbit, out of orbit |
|
The crowd went hurly-hurly |
|
( No, I would never lie to you ) |
|
He never came downn, never came down |
|
(Yes, it is true ) |
|
He must have gone to heaven |
|
(yes, it is true ) |
|
And out of orbit, out of orbit |
