Happy Japan Happy Japan, Garden of glitter! Flower and fan, flutter and flitter, Land of bamboo, Juvenile whacker, Porcelain too, Tea-tray and lacquer, Happy Japan, Happy Japan! 2. The Amorous Goldfish A goldfish swam in a big glass bowl As dear little goldfish do, But she loved with the whole of her heart and soul An officer brave from the ocean wave And she thought that he loved her, too. Her small inside he daily fed With crumbs of the best digestive bread, "This kind attention proves," said she, "How exceedingly fond he is of me!" And she thought "It's fit-fit-fitter He should love my glit-glit-glitter, Than his heart give away To the butterflies gay, Or the birds that twit-twit-twitter!" 3. Chin Chin Chinaman Chinaman no money makee Allo lifee long! Washee washee once me takee, Washee washee wrong! When me thinkee stealee collars P'licee mannee come; Me get finee fivee dollars, Plenty muchee sum! Chin Chin Chinaman Muchee muchee sad, Me afraid Allo trade Wellee welle bad! Noee joke Brokee broke Makee shuttee shop Chin chin chinaman Chop, chop chop! (Chorus:) Chin Chin Chinaman Muchee muchee sad, Me afraid Allo trade Wellee welle bad! Noee joke Brokee broke Makee shuttee shop Chin chin chinaman Chop, chop chop! 4. Entrance of The Geisha With splendour auspicious, O sun-beams illumine the day, With perfumes delicious, O flowers make fragrant the way O Zephyrs, go carry our songs to the Master of Might, Who cometh to marry the Rose of his fancy's delight The Rose of his fancy's delight.... The Rose of his fancy's delight! 5. The Interfering Parrot A parrot once resided in a pretty gilded cage, Sarcastic was his temper and uncertain was his age, He knew that two canaries had apartments overhead, Who'd only very recently been wed They'd recently been wed! He kept an eye on all that they were doing An interfering parrot in a nasty frame of mind And vow'd he stop their billing and their cooing; Which really was exceedingly unkind Exceedingly unkind! Polly wink'd his eye and Polly gave a sigh, And Polly took his best hat down; He called on Mrs. C. and took a cup of tea When Mister C. had gone to town Then wisely shook his head And seriously said: (spoken:) "Well, husbands are a lot! A pretty one you've got! Such tales I never heard! So dissolute a bird I never met before, What goings on! Oh lor!" (Chorus:) Polly wink'd his eye and Polly gave a sigh, And Polly took his best hat down; He called on Mrs. C. and took a cup of tea When Mister C. had gone to town!
