[Ab]
Hey, Ricky
[D] will you hit that chord for me?
Me, [Ab] me, me, number [D] 54, [Abm] the house with the [D] bamboo door
Bamboo roof and bamboo walls, you know it's [A] even got a bamboo floor
[Dm]
Oh you must get [Am] to know, [G]
[E] Soho [Bb] Joe
[G]
He has [D] the [Am] espresso, [D]
[G] call it after bamboo
It's made of [Am] sticks, [D]
[G] sticks and bricks
But you can [B] get your kicks, [C] [D]
[G] up and at the bamboo
Well [D] I ain't with the skin, you can be with [G] the cheeto
And the scotch is so I ain't gonna cha-cha
Dance with Bolero in [A] a [G] sombrero shake, like a snake
[Abm] [D] You won't have to do it, because [Em] the rest of the night
I'll [G] teach you to do [E] the big big [D] bridges with the kitchen and the lessons on the platter [G] and the rocks
The jukebox, [Am] I'm telling you
[Gb] [G] It ain't no clue, cause that's [D] all I [Am] could [G]
do
And the house of bamboo, go!

[G] know, Soho Joe
[D] [Am] He burns the [D] espresso, call [G] it after bamboo
[Eb]
But [D] in the casino, you can [E] be with the [G] cheeto
And let your foot be blue, through the big big [D] bridges of the kitchen and the lessons [Em] on the platter [G] and the rocks
[Abm]
That's why [D] I'm [Am] telling you, [G]
it ain't no clue
Well [D] there's a [Am] lot to do, [G]
in the house of bamboo
[D] Number 54, [G] the house with the bamboo door
