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

(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

(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

(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
