Lyrics
Bamboo Annie lived in New Caledonia
She didn't have no shoes
And G.I. Joe came from Kokomo
With a case of the G.I. blues
To say the least, they fell in love
He promised her a brand new car
But Joe shipped out the very next week
On his shoulder was a P.A.R
Now Annie she lived there all of her life
And Joe was just passing through
That's the way things were down in New Caledonia
Back in 19 and 42
Now Annie she waited patiently
Dreaming of a life with Joe
A brand new car and some little kids
And a home in Kokomo
And Joe was out in the jungle
In mud up to his knees
Thinking 'bout Annie down in New Caledonia
Walking in the ocean breeze
Now they both knew they had real love
But their love would never come true
That's the way things were down in New Caledonia
Back in 19 and 42
Now Joe was a fighting hero
As a soldier he was one of the best
But on the front line he got unlucky one time
And Joe caught a bullet in the chest
Now Annie she still holds her pictures of Joe
He's standing by his automobile
He's all decked out in his uniform
To Annie he was dressed to kill
And nobody ever told Annie
So I guess she never knew
That's the way things were down in New Caledonia
Back in 19 and 42
