Additional song (19) - San Toy - "Somebody"
San Toy: | From a country far in the golden west A certain somebody came; I think perhaps that it may be best If I don't mention his name. When first he travell'd across the seas, This somebody couldn't speak Chinese; Yet I contrived in my girlish way, To understand what he had to say, To understand what he had to say. Somebody thought me nice, you see, Somebody used to flatter me. I understood with blushes red All that somebody softly said, That somebody softly said. Now in time this somebody got to know Our language perfectly well; And we would chatter together, though Perhaps I oughtn't to tell. And fond and fonder of him I grew For somebody was good-looking too; Until when we were alone one day, He spoke to me in a bolder way, He spoke to me in a bolder way. Somebody said so soft and low, Somebody said: "I love you so. You are the girl I want to wed!" That's what somebody softly said, What somebody softly said. |
Chorus: | Soft and low, I love you so. |
All: | "You are the girl I want to wed!" That's what somebody softly said, what somebody softly, softly said. |
