Back in Nagasaki I got married to Cho Cho San That was her name in those days And I was her man I'm going back to visit her She got a problem She got a little Cho Cho Cho Cho San was her name And this is her tale of woe Take it away Cho Cho  [Foreign content]  Today's the day when I see clear A tiny thread of smoke appears Where blue skies fall upon the ocean And shake this staid emotion  All the while I sing this song I see a dot on the horizon Growing bigger every second Gleaming white in my direction  Who on earth can it be Coming up the path for me? What on earth will he say? Shall I run to him or run away?  Freaking out, he's come to get me My feet are stuck but just won't let me Run to him do I dare? Madam Butterfly don't blow it  Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly That's the name he used to give me He's my man till the day I die Oh, sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly She's waiting He'll be back, I have faith in this love track  Pinkerton's the name Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton, sir U.S. Navy I'm a bounder I married a Yankee girl But I went back to visit old Japan Where there she was, Cho Cho San  Gotta have something to believe in My white honkey, I do miss him Someday soon he'll come around Just to stop my nervous breakdown  Call me fool, call me stupid Bend my arrow kill this cupid Say it with me He'll be back I have faith in this love track  Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly That's the name he used to give me He's my man till the day I die Oh, sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly She's waiting He'll be back, I have faith  [Foreign content]  Cho Cho San My little wife My sweet butterfly That's the name I'll give her When I return  [Foreign content]  Little sweet sweet Butterfly I hear him crowing faintly He thinks I'm just still sweet sixteen I guess I'll tease him gently  Calling Madam Butterfly His angel plucked right from the sky Hide my baby in mystic places I feel the fear that I might die  Right in his arms and his embraces Softly kissing my eyelashes Got no right, no right to doubt it Ain't no doubt, no doubt about it  Call me fool, call me stupid Bend this arrow kill this cupid I have faith I'll always pray My white honkey's here to stay  Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly Butterfly, Butterfly have no fear I'll be back to wipe your tears Oh, sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly She's waiting I'll wait for him with unshakable faith He'll be back  [Foreign content]  He'll be back I'll be back
