Of ships that sunk and trains that left the rail.
I could sing you a song,
Of lips I kiss’d where nights are dark and long.
I’ve been in ev’ry territory,
Listen my children to my story.
But there ain’t no sight like a moonlight night on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
Oh a thousands gals I met with, that I never met before,
But the gal I’ll get is the gal I met on the Bam Bam Bamy shore.
I’ve been in big towns jazzin’ around,
I’ve been in small towns knockin’ ‘em down.
Oh a thousands miles I traveled, and I ain’t so young no more,
But I won’t sit pat 'til I hang my hat on the Bam Bam Bamy Shore.
