By the Duncan Sisters and Sam Coslow Chilly umpah umpah, Chilly umpumpah, I go off my nut each time I hear a guitar, It was in Bermuda that I heard one played; Some Boloney sang to me this serenade: [CHORUS] When it's SWEET ONION TIME in Bermuda, I'll breathe my love to you, In that fragrance divine, With your lips close to mine, Your eyes with tear drops will shine; We will frolic among the garlic, Till we hear those sweet wedding bells chime. If you get lost in the dark I will find you, In Bermuda in SWEET ONION TIME. Chilly umpah umpah, Chilly umpumpah, Makes me feel peculiar, oh, strum your guitar, Little Carmenceta come and sit here do; Let me smell just once again, the smile of you: [CHORUS] When it's SWEET ONION TIME in Bermuda, I'll breathe my love to you, Other lovers may dine All their sweethearts with wine, We'll have a real onion stew; I remember when I first met you, With a bunch of sweet scalions divine, Your love was strong and it knock'd me unconcious, In Bermuda in SWEET ONION TIME.
