Lyrics
1. In the land of San Domingo
Lived a girl called Oh! by Jingo
Ta da da da da da da da
Ump a, ump a, ump a, ump a
From the fields and from the marshes
Came the old and young by goshes
Ta da da da da da da da
Ump a, ump a, ump a, ump a
They all spoke with a different lingo
But they all loved Oh by Jingo
And every night they sang
In the pale moonlight
Chorus
Oh! by Gee! by Gosh, by Gum by Juv
Oh by Jingo, won’t you hear our love
We will build for you a hut
You will be our favorite nut
We’ll have a lot of little Oh by Gollies
Then we’ll put them in the Follies
By Jingo said, By Gosh, By Gee
By Jiminy please don’t bother me
So, they all went away singing
Oh by Gee, by Gosh, by Gum, by Juv by Jingo
By Gee, you’re the only girl for me
2. Oh by Jingo had a lover
He was always under cover
Ta da da da da da da da
Ump a, ump a, ump a, ump a
Every night she used to meet him
Oh how nice she used to treat him
Ta da da da da da da da
Ump a, ump a, ump a, ump a
They eloped but they both were collared
And the gang stood there and hollered
Don’t raise a fuss
You’ve gotta take one of us
