Deep in the dark jungles of Africa
  There is a goddess the natives call Bet-I-Cha
  
  Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
  (Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
  It's a story that's told of a maid that never will fade
  The tale of Bet-I-Cha
  (Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
  Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
  She's the song of delight in the night the natives will sing to you
  Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
  The wise men say she's a spirit
  Whose lover left long ago
  But others say she's the music
  Of lover's hearts all aglow
  She may be moonlight so bright
  Or soft winds sighin' at night
  No matter where you may find her
  She's one part close to your heart
  
  Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
  (Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
  It's a story that's told of a maid that never will fade
  The tale of Bet-I-Cha
  
  They sing of Bet-I-Cha
  They sing of Bet-I-Cha
  They sing of Bet-I-Cha
  They sing of Bet-I-Cha
