Submissive as I've taught her.

My chosen Alvin Barry;
A man without alloy I've chosen from a boy.

With a sailor's ship ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy.

Alacazan Mazourka,
Far back in the siege of Troy;
Alacazan Mazourka!

Was picked out for maiden coy,
As far back as the siege of Troy!
Was picked out for maiden coy,
Yes! Yes!

Chorus: Softly o'er you stealing,
Violet: Love comes, and you wonder why
Chorus: To its shrine you're kneeling.
Violet: Love comes and the days go by;

Love some day must come to all,
Yes, in love all must fall,
Love some day must come to all,
Come to all.
