Title: For your lisitening pleasure. The House of Bamboo. Post by: mrbones on February 05, 2009, 08:45:35 AM YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTIq5lm3Bi0
Sing along everybody! Number fifty-four, The house with the bamboo door, Bamboo roof and bamboo walls, They've even got a bamboo floor! You must get to know Soho Joe, He runs an Expresso, 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. In this casino, you can drink a 'chino, And it's gotcha swingin' to the cha cha Dance the bolero in a sombrero. Shake 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 telling you, when you're blue, Well there's a lot to do In the House Of Bamboo.

And, what's said is that old rap song still beats most of the hip-hoppin' excrement we're subjected to today.
