Madam Butterfly (un Bel Di Vedremo) Lyrics - Singles - Malcom Mclaren

Back in Nagasaki 

I got married to Cho Cho San 

that was her name 

Back in those days and I was her man. 

I'm going back to visit her 

she got a problem 

She got a little Cho Cho 

Cho Cho San was her name 

And this is her tale of woe 

take it away Cho Cho. 

Today's the day I see clear 

a tiny thread of smoke appears 

Where blue skies border on the ocean and a ship is set in motion. 

All the while I sing this song I see a dot on the horizon 

Growing bigger every second gleaming white in my direction. 

Who on Earth can it be coming up the path for me? 

What on Earth will he say 

shall I run to him or run away? 

Freaking out he's come to get me 

my feet are stuck and just won't let me. 

Run to him do I dare 

Madam Butterfly 

don't blow it. 

Calling Butterfly 

Madam Butterfly 

That's the name he used to give me 

he's my man 'til the day I die. 

Oh 

sweet Butterfly 

so sweet Butterfly 

she's waiting 

He'll be back 

I have faith in this love track. 

Pinkerton's the name 

Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton 

Sir! 

U.S. Navy 

I'm a bounder 

I married a Yankee girl 

But I went back to visit old Japan 

where there she was 

Cho Cho San. 

Gotta have something to believe in 

my white honky 

I do miss him. 

Someday soon he'll come around just to stop my nenrous breakdown. 

Call me fool ! Call me stupid ! Bend this arrow 

kill this cupid. 

Say it with me 

he'll be back 

I have faith in this love track. 

Calling Butterfly 

Madam Butterfly 

. . . 

Little sweet 

sweet Butterfly 

I hear him crowing faintly 

Thinks I'm stilljust sweet sixteen 

I guess I'll tease him gently. 

Calling Madam Butterfly 

his angel plucked right from the sky 

Hide my baby in strange places 

I feel the fear that I might die. 

Right in his arms and his embraces softly kissing my eyelashes 

Got no right 

no right to doubt it 

ain't no doubt 

no doubt about it. 

Call me fool! Call me stupid! Bend this arrow 

kill this cupid. 

I have faith I'll always pray my white honky's here to stay. 

Call me Butterfly 

Madam Butterfly 

Butterfly 

Butterfly 

have no fear 

I'll be back to wipe your tears. 

Oh 

sweet Butterfly 

so sweet Butterfly 

she's waiting. 

I will wait for him with unshakable faith. He'll be back - He'll be back.
