[Opening]
[Am] [G] [C]
[C]I worked in a London bank, respectable po[G]sition,
From nine to three they [C]serve you tea, but [D]ruin your dispo[G]sition,
Each [F]night at the music hall, [C]travelogues I’d [Dm]see,
And [G]once a pearl of a [C]native girl came [G]smilin’ right at [C]me

[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C]skirt,
She [F]lives on just [C]cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em]rose in her [Am]hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G]love in her heart for [C]me

[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C]skirt,
She [F]lives on just [C]cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em]rose in her [Am]hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G]love in her heart for [C]me

[interlude]
[Am] [G] [C]

[verse 2]
[C]Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a[G]sailin’,
The fourteenth day from [C]Mandalay I [D]spied her from the [G]railin’,
She [F]knew I was on my way, [C]waited, and was [Dm]true,
She [G]said, “You son of an [C]Englishman, I’ve [G]dreamed each night of [C]you”

[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C]skirt,
She [F]lives on just [C]cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em]rose in her [Am]hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G]love in her heart for [C]me

[interlude]
[Am] [G] [C]

[verse 3]
[C]I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her [G]only,
And they both said [C]we could be wed, oh, [D]what a cere[G]mony.
An [C]elephant brought her [F]in, [C]placed her by my [Dm]side,
While [G]six baboons got out [C]bassoons and [G]played “Here Comes the [C]Bride”

[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C]skirt,
She [F]lives on just [C]cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em]rose in her [Am]hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G]love in her heart for [C]me

[Closing]
[C]I’m back here in London town and, though it may sound [G]silly,
She’s here with me and [C]you should see us [D]walk down Picca[G]dilly,
The [F]boys at the London bank [C]kinda hold their [Dm]breath,
She [G]sits with me and [C]sips her tea which [G]tickles them to [C]death

[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C]skirt,
She [F]lives on just [C]cokey-nuts and fish from the sea,
A [Em]rose in her [Am]hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G]love in her heart for [C]me
