Lyrics
Chorus
Come and spoon with me
‘Neath the julep tree
Down old Bimini way
Hear the cocktails a-calling
Come to Bimini Bay
Sweet orange blossoms await you down yonder
Where they say Absinthe will make
Every loving heart grow fonder
There’s a shady nook by a sunny brook
Where the Green River flows
There we’ll spend our days
And we’ll try to raise Tom and Jerries who knows
Each night we’ll sample our private stock
Wind up the cat and put out the clock
Oh by Jiminy won’t you come with me
Down to Biminy Bay
Chorus
There’s a rickey tree By the Hennesea
Down old Bimini way
All the folks are good mixers
Down on Bimini Bay
You’ll love that tropical Island
The moon shines bright ev’ry night
On that lovely Rock and Rye land
Oh by hickory it’s so liquory
Down on Bimini Bay
And of late I’ve heard every wise old bird
Will be flying that way
You’ll find that’s where the good lawyers are
And how they practice at ev’ry bar
Oh by Jiminy how I’d love to be
Down on Biminy Bay
