There's A Bimboo Under My Bed
Adam West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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."

However, he is interrupted by a phone call from the hotel lobby informing him that he has a young Finnish woman in his room, to which he casually responds, asking for a 3-piece dinner.
Although the lyrics are lighthearted and amusing, they also touch on themes of adventure, spontaneity, and seizing the moment. The woman is described as being "outta her head" and having "stolen" the man's heart, yet he seems to embrace the spontaneous nature of their encounter. However, there is also a sense of danger and uncertainty suggested by the woman's status as an "Ultra Bimboo" and her desire to remain hidden under the bed. These elements add depth to the lyrics and make the story more intriguing.
