Filipino Baby

When the warships left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea
 All the sailors hearts were filled with fond regret
 Looking backward to this island where they spent such happy hours
 Making love to every pretty girl they've met
 Well, up stopped a little sailor with his pride eyes all aglow
 Saying take a look at my girl's photograph
 Then the sailors gathered 'round him just to look upon her face
 And he said, "I love my Filipino baby"
 She's my Filipino baby, she's my treasure and my pet
 Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet
 Oh, her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
 She's my darling little Filipino baby, oh, Jimmy
 In a little rustic cottage in the port of Philippines
 Dwells a lonely little maiden all alone
 She is thinking of her true love though he's far across the sea
 And her heart beats true for him and him alone
 Then one day he whispered, "Darling, I've come back
 From Caroline, I've come back to claim the only girl I love"
 And that night there was a wedding while the ships crew
 Gathered 'round and he wed his little Filipino baby
 She's my Filipino baby, she's my treasure and my pet
 Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet
 Oh, her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
 She's my darling little Filipino baby
