Lyrics

[00:52.35] Back in Nagasaki
[00:53.14] I got married to Cho Cho San
[00:53.90] that was her name
[00:56.39] In those days
[01:00.22] and I was her man.
[01:03.28] I'm going back to visit her
[01:07.25] she got a problem
[01:09.33] She got a little Cho Cho
[01:13.31] Cho Cho San was her name
[01:16.12] And this is her tale of woe
[01:18.39] take it away Cho Cho.
[01:20.90] 
[01:57.77] Today's the day that I see clear
[01:59.05] A tiny thread of smoke appears
[02:01.14] Where blue skies border on the ocean and a ship is set in motion.
[02:06.11] All the while I sing this song
[02:08.35] I see a dot on the horizon
[02:10.90] Growing bigger every second gleaming white in my direction.
[02:15.78] Who on Earth can it be coming up the path for me?
[02:20.47] What on Earth will he say
[02:23.08] shall I run to him or run away?
[02:24.95] Freaking out he's come to get me
[02:27.38] my feet are stuck and just won't let me.
[02:30.72] Run to him do I dare
[02:32.35] Madam Butterfly
[02:33.66] don't blow it.
[02:34.71] Calling Butterfly
[02:36.55] Madam Butterfly
[02:39.25] That's the name he used to give me
[02:40.53] He's my man 'til the day I die.
[02:44.08] Oh sweet Butterfly
[02:46.74] So sweet Butterfly
[02:48.29] She's waiting
[02:49.82] He'll be back
[02:51.74] I have faith in this love track.
[02:54.68] Pinkerton's the name
[02:56.25] Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton Sir
[02:58.33] U.S. Navy
[03:00.73] I'm a bounder
[03:01.58] I married a Yankee girl
[03:05.55] But I went back to visit old Japan
[03:09.05] where there she was
[03:11.17] Cho Cho San.
[03:12.42] Gotta have something to believe in
[03:13.51] My white honky
[03:15.61] I do miss him.
[03:17.14] Someday soon he'll come around
[03:19.06] Just to stop my nervous breakdown.
[03:22.22] Call me fool! Call me stupid!
[03:23.82] Bend this arrow
[03:25.43] kill this cupid.
[03:26.51] Say it with me
[03:28.07] He'll be back
[03:28.82] I have faith in this love track.
[03:30.73] Calling Butterfly
[03:33.03] Madam Butterfly
[03:35.48] That's the name he used to give me
[03:37.05] He's my man 'til the day I die.
[03:40.89] Oh sweet Butterfly
[03:42.64] So sweet Butterfly
[03:44.79] She's waiting
[03:46.67] He'll be back
[03:47.68] I have faith
[03:50.24] 
[04:27.08] Little sweet
[04:28.60] sweet Butterfly
[04:29.63] I hear him crying faintly
[04:32.07] He thinks I'm still his sweet sixteen
[04:34.76] I guess I'll tease him gently.
[04:36.76] Calling Madam Butterfly
[04:39.21] his angel plucked right from the sky
[04:41.84] Hide my baby in strange places
[04:44.22] I feel the fear that I might die.
[04:46.58] Right in his arms and his embraces softly kissing my eyelashes
[04:51.01] Got no right
[04:52.35] no right to doubt it
[04:53.68] ain't no doubt
[04:54.73] no doubt about it.
[04:56.40] Call me fool! Call me stupid!
[04:58.25] Bend this arrow
[04:59.56] Kill this cupid.
[05:00.51] I have faith I'll always pray
[05:02.98] My white honky's here to stay.
[05:05.07] Call me Butterfly
[05:08.59] Madam Butterfly
[05:10.31] Butterfly
[05:10.90] Butterfly
[05:11.72] have no fear
[05:13.39] I'll be back to wipe your tears.
[05:14.36] Oh sweet Butterfly
[05:17.02] so sweet Butterfly
[05:19.94] she's waiting.
[05:22.15] I will wait for him with unshakable
[05:23.90] faith. He'll be back - He'll be back.
[05:24.11]
