When the warship's left Manila sailin' proudly o'er the sea deep blue see
|
Every soldier's heart was still filled with fond regret
|
Looking backward to the Island where they spent such happy hours happy hours
|
Making love to every pretty girl they've met
|
Well up stepped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow all aglow
|
Saying take a look at my gal's photograph
|
Then they gathered round him just to look upon her face that's smiling face
|
And he said I love my Filipino baby
|
She's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my pet my loving 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 pure as snow yes I know
|
And I love my little Filipino baby
|
[ steel ]
|
Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline North Caroline
|
I've come back to claim the only girl I love
|
And that night there was a wedding
|
And the ships crew gathered round they're all around
|
And he wed his little Filipino baby
|
She's my Filipino baby...
|
Oh how I love my little Filipino baby
|
