Verse:
In the land of San Do -min -go Lived a girl called Oh! by Jin -go,
Ta da da da da da da da, Ump -a, ump -a, ump -a, ump -a,
From the fields and from the marsh -es, Came the old and young by gosh -es,
Ta da da da da da da da Ump -a, ump -a, ump -a, ump -a,
They all spoke with a dif -frent lin -go But they all loved Oh by Jin -go,
And ev -'ry night they sang in the pale moon -light.
 
Chorus:
Oh, by Gee! by Gosh, by Gum, by Juv,
Oh by Jin -go, won't you hear our love?
We will build for you a hut; You will be our fav' -rite nut,
We'll have a lot of lit -tle Oh! by Gol -lies, Then we'll put them in the Fol -lies.
By Jin -go said, By Gosh, By Gee,
By Jim -in -y, Please don't both -er me.
So they all went a -way sing -ing Oh! by Gee, by Gosh by Gum, by Juv, by Jin -go,
By Gee, you're the on -ly girl for me.
