[Intro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 1]
I asked this woman what could I do...
To make her love me and she feel good too
She told, "Splendid, all I want from you...
Is just a likkle likkle piece of the big bamboo"
[Chorus]
The big bamboo, it grows smooth and long
The big bamboo, it grows good and strong
The big bamboo stands up straight and tall
The big bamboo please the girls dem all
[Hook]
She a gwan rail back pon it
She just a gwan rail back pon it
The gyal a gwan rail back pon it
When she a whine, whine up pon it
[Verse 2]
Play sweet tune in front of I
Blow the sax', but no run and hide
Blow the sax' with a nice sweet tone
But the bamboo was as big as the saxophone
[Chorus]
The big bamboo, it grows smooth and long
The big bamboo, it grows good and strong
The big bamboo stands up straight and tall
The big bamboo please the girls dem all
[Hook]
She a gwan rail back pon it
She just a gwan rail back pon it
The gyal a gwan rail back pon it
When she a whine, whine up pon it
[Verse 3]
Bumper big, bumper broad, up deh, up deh, up
Pon the ground, pon the floor she a whine and back it up
She a holler and a bawl, she say, "Wuk, baby, wuk!"
Bamboo big, bamboo bruk, she bruk up her knee cup
Say, her man deady-deady and him way too small
When it comes to loving, him can't please her at all
To how she a say, me start dead with laugh
She say, "It's not a joke thing, and it's a serious talk"
[Hook]
She a gwan rail back pon it
She just a gwan rail back pon it
The gyal a gwan rail back pon it
When she a whine, whine up pon it
[Verse 4]
I asked this woman what could I do...
To make her love me and she feel good too
She told, "Splendid, all I want from you...
Just a likkle likkle piece of the big bamboo"
[Chorus]
The big bamboo, it grows smooth and long
The big bamboo, it grows good and strong
The big bamboo stands up straight and tall
The big bamboo please the girls dem all
[Interlude]
[Hook]
She a gwan rail back pon it
She just a gwan rail back pon it
The gyal a gwan rail back pon it
When she a whine, whine up pon it
She a gwan rail back pon it
She just a gwan rail back pon it
The gyal a gwan rail back pon it
When she a whine, whine up pon it
