Filipino Baby

As the war ships left Manila, sailing proudly o'er the sea all the sailors hearts were filled with fond regret
Looking back toward the island where they spent those happy hours, makin' love to every pretty girl they met

Then up stepped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow, sayin' take a look at my gals' photograph
Then the ship crew gathered 'round him just to look upon her face. He said 'I love my little Filipino Baby'

She's my Filipino Baby, she's my treasure and my pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair as black as jet
Her lips are sweet as honey, and her heart is pure I know
She's my darling little dollface Filipino

Then one night he whispered 'darlin', I've come back from Caroline. I've come back to claim the only girl I love'
Then that night there was a wedding as the ship crew gathered 'round
And he wed his little Filipino Baby
