Deep in the dark jungles of Africa
There is a goddess the natives call Bet-I-Cha
Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
(Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
It`s a story that`s told of a maid that never will fade
The tale of Bet-I-Cha
(Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
She`s the song of delight in the night the natives will sing to you
Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
The wise men say she`s a spirit
Whose lover left long ago
But others say she`s the music
Of lover`s hearts all aglow
She may be moonlight so bright
Or soft winds sighin` at night
No matter where you may find her
She`s one part close to your heart
Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
(Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
It`s a story that`s told of a maid that never will fade
The tale of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha
