Malcom McLaren Madam Butterfly Lyrics

Back in Nagasaki I got married to Cho Cho San
That was her name in those days
And I was her man
I'm going back to visit her
She got a problem
She got a little Cho Cho
Cho Cho San was her name
And this is her tale of woe
Take it away Cho Cho

Cho Cho San:
Today's the day when I see clear
A tiny thread of smoke appears
Where blue skies fall upon the ocean
And shake this staid emotion

All the while I sing this song
I see a dot on the horizon
Growing bigger every second
Gleaming white in my direction

Who on earth can it be
Coming up the path for me?
What on earth will he say?
Shall I run to him or run away?

Freaking out he's come to get me
My feet are stuck but just won't let me
Run to him do I dare?
Madam b___erfly don't blow it

Chorus

Calling b___erfly, Madam b___erfly
That's the name he used to give me
He's my man till the day I die
Oh sweet b___erfly, so sweet b___erfly
She's waiting
He'll be back, I have faith in this love track

Pinkerton:
Pinkerton's the name
Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton! sir
U.S. Navy
I'm a bounder
I married a Yankee girl
But I went back to visit old j__an
Where there she was, Cho Cho San

Cho Cho San:
Gotta have something to believe in
My white honkey, I do miss him
Someday soon he'll come around
Just to stop my nervous breakdown

Call me fool! Call me stupid!
Bend my arrow kill this cupid
Say it with me
He'll be back
I have faith in this love track

Pinkerton:
Cho Cho San
My little wife
My sweet b___erfly
That's the name I'll give her
When I return

Chorus

Little sweet sweet b___erfly
I hear him crowing faintly
He thinks I'm just still sweet sixteen
I guess I'll tease him gently

Cho Cho San:
Calling Madam b___erfly
His angel plucked right from the sky
Hide my baby in mystic places
I feel the fear that I might die

Right in his arms and embraces
Softly kissing my eyelashes
Got no right no right to doubt it
Ain't no doubt no doubt about it

Call me fool! Call me stupid!
Bend this arrow kil this cupid
I have faith I'll always pray
My white honkey's here to stay

Chorus

Calling b___erfly, Madam b___erfly
b___erfly, b___erfly have no fear
I'll be back to wipe your tears
Oh sweet b___erfly, so sweet b___erfly
She's waiting
I'll wait for him with unshakable faith
He'll be back
