No. 14 - Duet - Miyo and Makei - "Foreign Customs" Lyrics by Percy Greenbank

[Makei:] Amorous youth in foreign parts
Has some notions queer;
[Miyo:] What is his behaviour, please,
When a lady friend he sees?
[Makei:] Probably first of all he starts
Whisp'ring in her ear.
[Miyo:] What is the result of that?
[Makei:] Heart begins to go pit-pat!
[Miyo:] Very fine tales are these you've told;
What is the next thing plann'd?
[Makei:] Amorous youth just catches hold
Of feminine pink white hand.
[Miyo:] Oh, Teriyaki!
[Makei:] Oh, Teriyaki!
[Miyo:] Does the gentleman squeeze her hand?
[Both:] Chokin, chokera!
Kokin, kokera!
Hifu, hoheto!
What a lot of foolish customs
Foreigners seem to know.
[Makei:] Youth then snatches her
Close, and catches her
Round the waist so tight.
How does the little lady like it?
[Miyo:] Yoroshi, Yoroshi!
Quite all right!

[Makei:] Presently gallant foreign chap
Takes a seat, no doubt.
[Miyo:] What does little lady do
If it's not a seat for two?
[Makei:] Gentleman friend has full-size lap:
He will point that out.
[Miyo:] Surely lady can't sit there!
[Makei:] Oh, there's lots of room to spare!
[Miyo:] Feminine cheeks turn rosy red,
Very like sun in west.
[Makei:] Excellent plan to hide soft head
On muscular manly chest.
[Miyo:] Oh, Teriyaki!
[Makei:] Oh, Teriyaki!
[Miyo:] Curly head upon manly chest!
[Both:] Chokin, chokera!
Kokin, kokera!
Hifu, hoheto!
What a lot of foolish customs
Foreigners seem to know.
[Miyo:] We've learnt four of them;
Try one more of them.
[Makei:] Well, perhaps we might.
How does the little lady like it?
[Miyo:] Yoroshi, Yoroshi!
Quite all right!
