Lyrics
Chorus
“So long! Oo-long
How long you gonna be gone?
Your little Japanee,
Will be waiting underneath the bamboo tree;
So don’t be too long,
Oo-long I’ll long while you’re away
Waiting for the day
When you’ll come back to me
I’ll sit and sigh, ‘Neath the Oriental sky
Each day that I am left a lone in Naki Saki
So long! Oo-Long
How long you goin’ to roam?
Please don’t be too long, Oo-long
So long, hurry back home.”
