So Long Oo-Long (How Long You Gonna Be Gone) Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Harry Ruby Performer(s): Wurlitzer Band Organ
Ming Toy loved a boy Happy little Japanee Oo-long was his name Set her heart a flame One day he say, "Soon I gotta go away" When he leave Ming Toy grieve Everybody hear her say
Days fly quickly by Turning into lonely years Tho' the nights are long Ming Toy's faith is strong She kneels and feels That she doesn't pray in vain Whispers "Oo I love you, Ming Toy wants you back again"
"So long! Oo-long, how long you gonna be gone? Your little Japanee Will be waiting underneath the bamboo tree So don't be too long Oo-long I'll long while you're away Waiting for the day when you'll come back to me I'll sit and sigh, 'Neath the Oriental sky Each day that I am left a lone In Naki Saki So long! Oo-Long, How long you goin' to roam? Please don't be too long Oo-long, so long hurry back home"
