No. 14 - Duet - Miyo and Makei - "Foreign Customs"
Makei: | Amorous youth in foreign parts Has some notions queer; |
Miyo: | What is his behaviour, please, When a lady friend he sees? |
Makei: | Probably first of all he starts Whisp'ring in her ear. |
Miyo: | What is the result of that? |
Makei: | Heart begins to go pit-pat! |
Miyo: | Very fine tales are these you've told; What is the next thing plann'd? |
Makei: | Amorous youth just catches hold Of feminine pink white hand. |
Miyo: | Oh, Teriyaki! |
Makei: | Oh, Teriyaki! |
Miyo: | Does the gentleman squeeze her hand? |
Both: | Chokin, chokera! Kokin, kokera! Hifu, hoheto! What a lot of foolish customs Foreigners seem to know. |
Makei: | Youth then snatches her Close, and catches her Round the waist so tight. How does the little lady like it? |
Miyo: | Yoroshi, Yoroshi! Quite all right! |
Makei: | Presently gallant foreign chap Takes a seat, no doubt. |
Miyo: | What does little lady do If it's not a seat for two? |
Makei: | Gentleman friend has full-size lap: He will point that out. |
Miyo: | Surely lady can't sit there! |
Makei: | Oh, there's lots of room to spare! |
Miyo: | Feminine cheeks turn rosy red, Very like sun in west. |
Makei: | Excellent plan to hide soft head On muscular manly chest. |
Miyo: | Oh, Teriyaki! |
Makei: | Oh, Teriyaki! |
Miyo: | Curly head upon manly chest! |
Both: | Chokin, chokera! Kokin, kokera! Hifu, hoheto! What a lot of foolish customs Foreigners seem to know. |
Miyo: | We've learnt four of them; Try one more of them. |
Makei: | Well, perhaps we might. How does the little lady like it? |
Miyo: | Yoroshi, Yoroshi! Quite all right! |
