Back in Nagasaki
I got married to Cho Cho Santhat was her name
Back in those days and I was her man.I'm going back to visit hershe got a problem
She got a little Cho Cho
Cho Cho San was her name
And this is her tale of woetake it away Cho Cho.
Today's the day I see cleara tiny thread of smoke appears
Where blue skies border on the ocean and a ship is set in motion.
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 sayshall I run to him or run away?
Freaking out he's come to get memy feet are stuck and just won't let me.
Run to him do I dare
Madam Butterflydon't blow it.
Calling Butterfly
Madam Butterfly
That's the name he used to give mehe's my man 'til the day I die.
Ohsweet Butterflyso sweet Butterflyshe's waiting
He'll be back
I have faith in this love track.
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 Japanwhere there she was
Cho Cho San.
Gotta have something to believe inmy white honky
I do miss him.
Someday soon he'll come around just to stop my nenrous breakdown.
Call me fool ! Call me stupid ! Bend this arrowkill this cupid.
Say it with mehe'll be back
I have faith in this love track.
Calling Butterfly
Madam Butterfly. . .
Little sweetsweet Butterfly
I hear him crowing faintly
Thinks I'm stilljust sweet sixteen
I guess I'll tease him gently.
Calling Madam Butterflyhis angel plucked right from the sky
Hide my baby in strange places
I feel the fear that I might die.
Right in his arms and his embraces softly kissing my eyelashes
Got no rightno right to doubt itain't no doubtno doubt about it.
Call me fool! Call me stupid! Bend this arrowkill this cupid.I have faith I'll always pray my white honky's here to stay.
Call me Butterfly
Madam Butterfly

Butterflyhave no fear
I'll be back to wipe your tears.
Ohsweet Butterflyso sweet Butterflyshe's waiting.I will wait for him with unshakable faith. He'll be back - He'll be back.
