Verse Down in the jungle lived a maid, Of royal blood, though dusky shade; alt: out in a palace in the shade A marked impression once she made, Upon a Zulu from Matabulu; And ev'ry morning he would be Down underneath the bamboo tree, Awaiting there his love to see And then to her he'd sing: If you like-a-me like I like-a-you And we like-a-both the same, I like-a-say, This very day, I'd like-ta change your name; 'Cause I love-a-you and love-you a-true And if you-a love-a me. One live as two, two live as one, Under the bamboo tree.
