In San Domingo
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Ted Snyder



"Chickee Choo," that was all she said to me
"Chickee Choo," on an island in the sea
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
But "Chickee Choo," seemed to cheer me instantly
Out of a million or more
Who come to visit the shore
It really seemed like fate, that she should wait for me
Out on that tropical isle, I had to linger awhile
She won me with her smile
It had to be

"Chickee Choo," every time she whispered this
"Chickee Choo," I would steal a little kiss
All the while, I just had to wear a smile
For "Chickee Choo," seemed to fill my heart with bliss
It wasn't just what she said
That seemed to go to my head 
She was a little bear, and here and there was less
Although she wiggled around
She never covered much ground
When she said, "Chickee Choo," I answered "yes"

In San Domingo 'neath starry skies
I couldn't understand her "lingo" 
But I could read this in her eyes (Chickee Choo, I love you) 
One day by "jingo"! I held her hand
And I could feel my heart go "bingo" 
Down in San Domingo Land
