If you like-a-me,
Like I like-a-you
And we like-a-both the same,
I like-a say,
This very day,
I like-a-change your name.
'Cause I love-a-you
And love-a-you true
And if you-a love-a-me.
One live as two,
Two live as one
Under the mango tree

If you like-a-me,
Like I like-a-you
And we like-a-both the same,
I like-a say,
This very day,
I like-a-change your name.
'Cause I love-a-you
And love-a-you true
And if you-a love-a-me.
One live as two,




Two live as one
Under the mango tree
