No. 19 - Duet - Mitsu and Suki - "Memories"
| Suki: | What romantic recollections Of our meeting I have got! |
| Mitsu: | When I captured your affections, I was bathing, was I not? |
| Suki: | Sudden billows 'neath the willows Marked the elephantine spot. |
| Mitsu: | Do you unworthily remember, |
| Suki: | Could I deplorably forget! |
| Both: | That most contemptible occasion When we unfortunately met? |
| Mitsu: | I dived in as you came along the road. |
| Suki: | Now I know why the river overflowed! |
| Mitsu: | Do you by any chance remember? |
| Suki: | How could I forget? |
| Suki: | Through the meadows we would wander, As we whispered Love's young vows; |
| Mitsu: | Once we noticed over yonder Quiet cattle on the browse. |
| Suki: | Getting nearer, we saw clearer They were bulls instead of cows! |
| Mitsu: | Do you unworthily remember, |
| Suki: | Could I deplorably forget! |
| Both: | That most contemptible occasion When all those animals we met? |
| Mitsu: | They tossed me like a feather up aloft. |
| Suki: | And for some weeks I sat on something soft. |
| Mitsu: | Do you by any chance remember? |
| Suki: | How could I forget? |
| Suki: | Once you coyly came to meet me When the moon was shining bright; |
| Mitsu: | Then you took me out to treat me, For a tea-house was in sight; |
| Suki: | Unromantic and gigantic Was your girlish appetite. |
| Mitsu: | Do you unworthily remember, |
| Suki: | Could I deplorably forget! |
| Both: | That most contemptible occasion When you/I so ravenously ate? |
| Mitsu: | When the bill came, you were staggered at the price. |
| Suki: | I should think so! Twenty-seven plates of rice! |
| Mitsu: | Do you by any chance remember? |
| Suki: | How could I forget? |
