Bunny Dear 1919 'The Rose Of China'

There's a genie that inhabits,
so Amelican wise men say.
August foot of hon'rable rabbits
when the bunny has passed away.
If you pray to him polite
and take the foot like this
in your right hand,
he will welly kindly do,
all that you ask him to.
Bunny show me how:
Make a magic now!

Bunny dear hear me:
This is quite private:
Bring me a nice young man!
Bring him to cheer me;
you can contrive it
Oh yes I know you can!
I would not dream of bothering you;
Honey dear only, I am so lonely;
do what you can, please;
Bring me a man, please;
Bunny dear, bring him here,
Oh do!

Bunny dear hear me:
This is quite private:
Bring me a nice young man!
Bring him to cheer me;
you can contrive it
Oh yes I know you can!
I would not dream of bothering you;
Honey dear only, I am so lonely;
do what you can, please;
Bring me a man, please;
Bunny dear, bring him here,
Oh do!

Now Ling Tao want you
to send her someone tall
just about like this.
Someone nice and plitty and slender
not want anyone short and fat.
Let his hair be dark and curly:
Please make haste!
Deliver him early!
If it's all the same to you,
let his eyes be blue.
Bring him Bunny dear:
I'll be waiting here.

Bunny dear hear me:
This is quite private:
Bring me a nice young man!
Bring him to cheer me;
you can contrive it
Oh yes I know you can!
I would not dream of bothering you;
Honey dear only, I am so lonely;
do what you can, please;
Bring me a man, please;
Bunny dear, bring him here,
Oh do!

Bunny dear hear me:
This is quite private:
Bring me a nice young man!
Bring him to cheer me;
you can contrive it
Oh yes I know you can!
I would not dream of bothering you;
Honey dear only, I am so lonely;
do what you can, please;
Bring me a man, please;
Bunny dear, bring him here,
Oh do!
