05 Jun 01 - 02:27 AM (#476579) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: House of Bamboo From: GUEST,ferdandpen@home.com Yes, Dorrie. That's the song. I can't find the lyrics on the usual lyrics websites (running the title against Earl Grant, Andy Williams & Southern Culture on the Skids). I also checked the Earl Grant, Andy Williams & S.C.O.T.S. websites. I also searched for the composer & lyricist: William Crompton & Norman Murrels. I have a request in with a vintage music website for the sheet music, if they can find it. So far, I've come up empty. Most of the lyrics I can make out. It's just a few phrases in the chorus that have me stumped. Thanks for your help. |

05 Jun 01 - 04:11 AM (#476601) Subject: Lyr Add: HOUSE OF BAMBOO (Earl Grant) From: Pene Azul Thanks to Dorrie's hint, I found it on a cached, now apparently defunct page through Google. (email sent) House Of Bamboo (Earl Grant) Number fifty-four, the house with a bamboo door Bamboo roof and bamboo walls They've even got a bamboo floor You must get to know (ah!) soho Joe He runs an espresso called the House of Bamboo It's-a made of sticks, sticks and bricks But you can get your kicks in the House of Bamboo And it's got to swing it to the cha-cha Dance the bolero in a sombrero Shake a-like a snake! You wanna drop in when the cats are hoppin' Let your two feet move-a to the big beat Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter that rocks The jukebox I'm-a tellin' you, when you're blue Well, there's a lot to do in the House of Bamboo Go, pretty boy, let's go, go! In this casino you can drink cappuccino Let your two feet move-a to the big beat Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter that belts I'm-a tellin' you, when you're blue Well, there's a lot to do in the House of Bamboo In the House of Bamboo |

I might find a place for it, among the odds and ends, in my housing songbook along with "Dry Weather Housing" and "No-Tell Hotel." Landlady's Daughter, not to be confused with Charley Noble et al |
