We’ll Build a Bungalow – song lyrics

song lyrics to We’ll Build a Bungalow from the classic I Love Lucy episode, The Benefit – as sung by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz

We’ll build a bungalow, big enough for two
Big enough for two (my honey), yes me and you
And when we’re married, happy we’ll be
Under the bamboo, underneath the bamboo tree

TAP TAP TAP

(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – Say Lucy!
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Yeah, Ricky!
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – You know a funny thing happened to me on the way to the theater tonight.
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – What?
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – A tramp came up to me in the street and said he hadn’t had a bite in weeks.
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – What d’ya do, bite him?

If you’ll be M-I-N-E mine
I’ll be T-H-I-N-E thine
And I’ll L-O-V-E love you
All the T-I-M-E time

(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – Say Lucy!
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Yeah, Ricky!
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – Eh, did you hear about the big fire down in the shoe factory?
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – I’ll bet some heel started it!
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – You’re supposed to say “What happened?”
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Huh?
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – What happened!
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Two hundred soles were lost!

You are the B-E-S-T best
Of all the R-E-S-T rest
And I’ll L-O-V-E love you
All the T-I-M-E time

TAP TAP TAP

(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Go ahead.
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – I’m onto your tricks. You start it this time. Go ahead.
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Okay. You know there are two things I can’t eat for breakfast: lunch and dinner.

We’ll have an L-A-R-K lark
In the P-A-R-K park
And I’ll K-I-S-S kiss you
In the D-A-R-K dark

TAP TAP TAP

(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Go ahead.
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – I got you this time. I got a joke that you never heard in your whole life.
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Okay. Go ahead. Spill it brother.
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – Did you hear about the girl that was so dumb that she thought a football coach had four wheels! Ha ha ha ha ha! Four wheels!
(Lucy Ricardo [Lucille Ball]) – Ha ha ha ha ha! How many wheels does it have?
(Ricky Ricardo [Desi Arnaz]) – Oh, what’s the use!

And when we’re married
Happy we’ll be
Under the bamboo
Under the bamboo
Under the bamboo tree
