When the warship's left Manila sailing proudly o'er the seaAll the sailors hearts were filled with fond regretLooking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hoursMaking love to every pretty girl they've met(Well up stopped a little sailor with his pride eyes all aglowSaying take a look at my girl's photograph)Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her faceAnd he said I love my Filipino babyShe's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my petHer teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jetOh her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I knowShe's my darling my little Filipino baby[ steel ]In a little rustic cottage in the port of Filipines dwells a lonely little maiden all alone(She is thinking of her true love though he's far across the seaAnd her heart beats true for him and him alone)Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from CarolineI've come back to claim the only girl I loveAnd that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered roundAnd he wed his little Filipino babyShe's my Filipino baby...
