No.12 - Duet - Dudley and Li - "Samee Gamee"
Dudley: | Your marriages here Are certainly queer, I do not see what's the attraction, A wife on your plan Has not got a man, But only a claim to a fraction. |
Li: | In England today You go other way, Man mally one wifee, of coursee; She flirtee too hot With allo big lot, He have to go gettee divorcee. |
Both: | Just the same wherever you go, Samee gamee, Samee gamee, Folks exclaimee Fie! for shamee! All can play at samee gamee, Samee gamee, Samee gamee, O! |
Dudley: | A curious lot Of customs you've got, We civiliz'd foreigners lack them. You Chinamen choose To whiten your shoes; In England the gentlemen black them. |
Li: | Our girlees are sweet, They bindee their feet, We thinkee it plopa and lightee; You callee good taste To squeezee your waist So very unpleasantly tightee. |
Both: | Just the same wherever you go, Samee gamee, Samee gamee, Folks exclaimee Fie! for shamee! All can play at samee gamee, Samee gamee, Samee gamee, O! |
