Additional song (16) - San Toy - "It's nice to be a boy"
| San Toy: | Little China maids, Till their beauty fades, Must be hidden, must be hidden. Talking with a man By a social ban Is forbidden, is forbidden! That would never be Good enough for me; It's unpleasant, most unpleasant! Therefore Miss San Toy Will remain a boy For the present, for the present! For it's nice to be a boy sometimes, And especially in Eastern climes, Where a lady's great distress is That she cannot show her dresses, So it's nice to be a boy, sometimes! I go out at nights Flying painted kites Round the city, round the city! I can dare to greet Any maid I meet If she's pretty, rather pretty! Where can be the hurt If I choose to flirt? Don't I rather, don't I rather! Aged men will smile Say it's just the style Of my father, of my father! Oh, it's nice to be a boy sometimes, When you hear the merry midnight chimes, And excuses are not needed For your father knows what he did When he used to be a boy, sometimes! But I rather fear That the time is near For revealing, for revealing, And I must confess I'm a boy in dress, Not in feeling, not in feeling! There's an English youth Who contriv'd the truth To discover, to discover! So I must avow I'm a lady now, With a lover, with a lover! But it's nice to be a girl sometimes, When a lover makes you pretty rhymes, And the words that may be missing He supplies by ardent kissing, Then it's nice to be a girl sometimes! |
