My Girl Back Home (From "South Pacific")

My girl back home
I almost forgot
A blue eyed kid
I liked her a lot
We got engaged
Both families were glad
And I was told by my uncle and dad
That if I was clever and able
They’d make me a part of a partnership
Cable, Cable
And Cable
How far away?
Philidelphia P. A
Princeton N. J
How far are they?
From coconut palms
And banyan trees
And coral sands
And Tonkinese
How far are they?
Little Rock A.R.K?
Princeton N. J
How far are they?
How far are they?
Nellie and Cable
From coconut palms
And banyon trees
To coral sands
And Tonkinese
