Excellent choice of music !  

I seem to remember 
"I'm gonna take my Bimbo back to bamboo isle " 

and rather fancy the development 
"slake my Bimbo's back with Sun-tan Yle "  

though this would appeal only to Scotsman -- though OIL (which is YLE in Scots) 
isn't unamenable to rhymes 

slake one's bimbo's back in suntan oiland from sunburnt spirals watch the witch uncoil ....

One probably requires a lyric at least to show people on paper, 
since Bimbo as a generic and gendered term might offend feminists -
or claim that Clarence Williams stole the tune & title from Rick LaNocca, the corniest Italian 
BUt then again NOCCA is the acronym for NEW ORLEANS CENTER FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS 

Clarence Williams Forever!
