No. 22 - Chorus of Japanese Maidens
Ensemble: | Yes, we've all seen Sham, Great Tycoon of Japan. Tycoon, Ta! Ta! And we find him quite an elevated man. High-moon, Ta! Ta! And Gull-Gull, who comes from Yeddo or Sangar. So far, Ta! Ta! They're both too lovely for anything, they are. Oh! they just are; Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Yes, we've all seen Sham, Great Tycoon of Japan. Tycoon, Ta! Ta! And we find him quite an elevated man. High-moon, Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! [Miss Hurricane:] Dear me, dear me, I'm choking, The General is too provoking; True love to be thus blocking. |
All: | Oh! yes, his point he'll carry. |
Dolly: | He stings just like a nettle, He boils just like a kettle, Though Violet is true metal, |
All: | Lord Dolph, he'll make her marry, Lord Dolph, he'll make her marry. |
Miss Hurricane: | Nay, nay, let's hope that Gull-Gull And Sham with love so full-full, Who sings just like a bul-bul, And all you senses lull-lull, Will make this sad scheme null-null, |
All: | And help out Alvan Barry. |
Miss Hurricane: | Oh, yes, if she don't come too late, She'll turn the scale, she's Violet's fate. |
Girls: | She who? |
Miss Hurricane: | Hush! you know, |
All: | Hush! we know. Hush! Hush! Hush! Hush! |
Girls: | Speak low! |
Miss Hurricane: | Walls have ears. |
All: | Hush! Speak low. Hush! Hush! Hush! Speak low. |
Miss Hurricane: | And oh! may my lord Dol-dol, With his eternal trol-loll, Who oh, ah's! like a pol-pol, Marry some noble Moll-Moll, On his own side of Sol-Sol, |
All: | And here no longer tarry. |
Miss Hurricane: | Oh, yes, if she don't come too late, She'll turn the scale, she's Violet's fate. |
Girls: | She who? |
Miss Hurricane: | Hush! you know, |
All: | Hush! we know. Hush! Hush! Hush! Hush! |
Girls: | Speak low! |
Miss Hurricane: | Walls have ears. |
All: | Hush! Speak low. Hush! Hush! Hush! Speak low. Dear me, dear me, we're choking, The General is too provoking; True love to be thus blocking. Oh! yes, his point he'll carry. No, no, she'll come, we know it, She'll make Dolph heel and toe it; Yes, double quick he'll go it, And leave the field to Barry, And leave the field to Barry. |
