No. 22 - Chorus of Japanese Maidens Lyrics by Willard Spenser

[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.
