[Suki:]
What romantic recollections
Of our meeting I have got!
[Mitsu:]
When I captured your affections,
I was bathing, was I not?
[Suki:]
Sudden billows 'neath the willows
Marked the elephantine spot.
[Mitsu:]
Do you unworthily remember,
[Suki:]
Could I deplorably forget!
[Both:]
That most contemptible occasion
When we unfortunately met?
[Mitsu:]
I dived in as you came along the road.
[Suki:]
Now I know why the river overflowed!
[Mitsu:]
Do you by any chance remember?
[Suki:]
How could I forget?
Through the meadows we would wander,
As we whispered Love's young vows;
[Mitsu:]
Once we noticed over yonder
Quiet cattle on the browse.
[Suki:]
Getting nearer, we saw clearer
They were bulls instead of cows!
[Mitsu:]
Do you unworthily remember,
[Suki:]
Could I deplorably forget!
[Both:]
That most contemptible occasion
When all those animals we met?
[Mitsu:]
They tossed me
like a feather up aloft.
[Suki:]
And for some weeks
I sat on something soft.
[Mitsu:]
Do you by any chance remember?
[Suki:]
How could I forget?
Once you coyly came to meet me
When the moon was shining bright;
[Mitsu:]
Then you took me out to treat me,
For a tea-house was in sight;
[Suki:]
Unromantic and gigantic
Was your girlish appetite.
[Mitsu:]
Do you unworthily remember,
[Suki:]
Could I deplorably forget!
[Both:]
That most contemptible occasion
When you/I so ravenously ate?
[Mitsu:]
When the bill came,
you were staggered at the price.
[Suki:]
I should think so!
Twenty-seven plates of rice!
[Mitsu:]
Do you by any chance remember?
[Suki:]
How could I forget?
