No. 2 - Song - Commodore and Chorus
Commodore: | You now await a potentate Of nature Oriental, So when you meet, be sure to greet In manner consequential, Both courtliness and portliness Are attributes essential. |
Chorus: | Yes, that is very true and we will do the same as you. |
Commodore: | Stand straight and bow politely, Manner so picturesquely, Bow low in Oriental style like this... |
Chorus: | Like this? |
Commodore: | If I remember rightly, I did not say grotesquely, Again I say to you, bow low like this. |
Chorus: | Like this? |
Commodore: | A bow like that will do. |
Chorus: | A bow like this will do. |
Commodore: | It's graceful and it's easy. |
Chorus: | Quite easy. |
Commodore: | Japanesey, And doubtless in a measure, Thrill with pleasure, blood so blue. Now watch me, do as I do. |
Chorus: | We'll try to satisfy you, like this? |
Commodore: | Like this. |
Chorus: | Like this? |
Commodore: | A bow like that will do. |
