Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom -tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick,
tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer showers through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you, night and day
Ching, ching, ching, you are the one
Only you, beneath the moon
and under the sun
Whether near, to me, or far, it's no matter, darling,
where you are, I think of you, night and day, day and night,
Ching, ching, ching, why is it so
That this longing for you fol
lows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic slow
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
night and day
Day and night, under the hide of me
There's an oh,
such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
An d this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life
making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Day and night
Under the hat of me
There's an oh,
such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
An d this tor ment won't be through
Till you let me spend my
life making love to you
Like the beat, beat,
beat of the tom -tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick,
tock of the stale o 'clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom -tom
when the jungle shadows fall...
