Where the jungle trees are tall
   Grows a flower sweet to see
   It's a purdy flower they call "Chincherinchee!"
  
   There a boy sang all day long
   To a maiden tenderly
   And he called her in his song "Chincherinchee!"
  
   While the tom toms played
   He sang his serenade
   In the moonlight:
   "Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
   Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
   Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
   Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"
  
   Everyone will agree
   She's as sweet as can be
   She's so kissable and caress-able "Chincherinchee!"
  
   Everybody can see
   How exciting is she
   She's embraceable, irreplaceable "Chincherinchee!"
  
   While the tom toms played
   He sang his serenade . . .
  
   < instrumental verse >
  
   Every night they used to meet
   By a tall banyan tree
   Where he sang his heart to sweet "Chincherinchee!"
  
   While the tom toms played
   He sang his serenade
   In the moonlight:
   "Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
   Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
   Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
   Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"
  
   "Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
   Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
   Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
   Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"
