There's A Bimboo Under My Bed
Adam West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went down to Helsinki City
That′s where I met a little woman and she sure was looking fine
She said, "Hello, I'm an Ultra Bimboo.
I lost my bag in the lobby and I sure need to spend the night."

Now I′ve got her alone in my room
The morning always comes too soon
There's a Bimboo under my bed
She's cutting loose now . . . She′s outta her head
But I loved her right from the start
She stole my American heart
She stole my American heart

I said, "Hey, baby, what′s your pleasure?"
She said, "I like it under here and I'll soon drift off to sleep."
I said, "Yeah? But how about some leisure?"
She said, "I like it under here cuz I won′t get in too deep."

There's a ring . . . It′s the hotel lobby
"Sir, you've got a young Finnish woman in your room and is all alright?"




I said, "Sure, but I′m a little hungry.
Send up a 3-piece dinner and we'll all just call it a night."
