Notes About The Poem
A background chorus is not represented due to the possibility of offending.  This is a Reggae/Calypso derivative best sung as a tenor-basso duet.  The little song has been debuted at a local jazz club with the chorus.  It has since been requested on occasion.  Considered a "last set" song due to the sexual intonation of the song.

The Yohimbe Song - a Reggae Derivative

Yo
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo… O…. Himbe
Erotic bark of exotic tree 
Yo
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo… O…. Himbe
Help a man be all he can be

I come home tired, but my woman want me.
She give me little rum and some Yohimbe (basso line)

She say it make a difference she can feel and see
She give me little rum and some Yohimbe (basso line)

She say I make her body feel hap…hap…eee
She give me little rum and some Yohimbe (basso line)    

Yo
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo… O…. Himbe
Erotic bark of exotic tree 
Yo
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo… O…. Himbe
Help a man be all he can be

So if you want to get a lot, just like me
Try a little rum and some Yohimbe (basso line)

Try it just and you will see
Try a little rum and some Yohimbe (basso line) 

It work for you like it work for me
Try a little rum and some Yohimbe (basso line)

Yo
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo… O…. Himbe
Erotic bark of exotic tree 
Yo
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo… O…. Himbe
Help  a  man  be  all  he  can  be (down tempo)
