There are maidens in Japan
Language: English
There are maidens that I know In the town of Tokio, Little geisha girls and girls of high degree; There are maidens in Japan Who can conquer any man- But you, my dear, are good enough for me ! O the almond-blossoms white Make me tremble with delight, But their perfume is no sweeter than your breath. There is nothing like your kiss, Little Dresden-china miss, And I'll love you, love you, love you until death !
