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!"
