Lyrics

[00:49.05] Back in Nagasaki I got married to Cho Cho San
[00:51.99] That was her name in those days
[00:57.90] And I was her man
[01:00.94] I'm going back to visit her
[01:05.49] She got a problem
[01:07.44] She got a little Cho Cho
[01:11.31] Cho Cho San was her name
[01:14.67] And this is her tale of woe
[01:16.97] Take it away Cho Cho
[01:21.91] Today's the day when I see clear
[01:56.25] A tiny thread of smoke appears
[02:00.83] Where blue skies fall upon the ocean
[02:04.14] And shake this staid emotion
[02:06.52] All the while I sing this song
[02:09.51] I see a dot on the horizon
[02:10.89] Growing bigger every second
[02:12.27] Gleaming white in my direction
[02:14.65] Who on earth can it be
[02:17.73] Coming up the path for me?
[02:19.36] What on earth will he say?
[02:22.53] Shall I run to him or run away?
[02:23.89] Freaking out, he's come to get me
[02:26.59] My feet are stuck but just won't let me
[02:30.60] Run to him do I dare?
[02:31.22] Madam Butterfly don't blow it
[02:33.60] Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly
[02:38.14] That's the name he used to give me
[02:40.56] He's my man till the day I die
[02:43.00] Oh, sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly
[02:47.44] She's waiting
[02:49.33] He'll be back, I have faith in this love track
[02:54.08] Pinkerton's the name
[02:55.58] Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton, sir
[02:57.96] U.S. Navy
[02:59.47] I'm a bounder
[03:02.05] I married a Yankee girl
[03:04.45] But I went back to visit old Japan
[03:08.74] Where there she was, Cho Cho San
[03:11.82] Gotta have something to believe in
[03:13.51] My white honkey, I do miss him
[03:16.03] Someday soon he'll come around
[03:18.35] Just to stop my nervous breakdown
[03:20.74] Call me fool, call me stupid
[03:22.93] Bend my arrow kill this cupid
[03:25.32] Say it with me
[03:26.65] He'll be back
[03:27.83] I have faith in this love track
[03:30.19] Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly
[03:34.64] That's the name he used to give me
[03:37.02] He's my man till the day I die
[03:39.62] Oh, sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly
[03:44.03] She's waiting
[03:45.84] He'll be back, I have faith
[04:06.84] Cho Cho San
[04:08.88] My little wife
[04:11.29] My sweet butterfly
[04:13.92] That's the name I'll give her
[04:16.80] When I return
[04:18.27] Little sweet sweet Butterfly
[04:28.96] I hear him crowing faintly
[04:31.42] He thinks I'm just still sweet sixteen
[04:34.05] I guess I'll tease him gently
[04:36.34] Calling Madam Butterfly
[04:38.49] His angel plucked right from the sky
[04:40.70] Hide my baby in mystic places
[04:43.31] I feel the fear that I might die
[04:45.63] Right in his arms and his embraces
[04:48.14] Softly kissing my eyelashes
[04:50.50] Got no right, no right to doubt it
[04:52.93] Ain't no doubt, no doubt about it
[04:55.54] Call me fool, call me stupid
[04:58.03] Bend this arrow kill this cupid
[04:59.96] I have faith I'll always pray
[05:02.21] My white honkey's here to stay
[05:05.88] Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly
[05:08.88] Butterfly, Butterfly have no fear
[05:11.34] I'll be back to wipe your tears
[05:14.13] Oh, sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly
[05:16.29] She's waiting
[05:20.41] I'll wait for him with unshakable faith
[05:24.02] He'll be back
[06:18.72] He'll be back
[06:19.95] I'll be back
[06:21.03]
