My Oriental Girl 1921

Lilly Chee from across the sea,
a bit of Oriental loveliness,
just as sweet as she could be
in her native dress;
In night café she met Sam Lee,
Critic of such art work;
don't you see?
He loved the beautiful Lilly Chee
and sang his soul away.

Ah
Ah
Sang he to his love;
I love you,
your jet black hair
your eyes of beauty,
oriental hue;
Ah
Ah
Never more, dear, shall we part;
You are my own true love,
My oriental girl, my Lilly Chee.

Ah
Ah
Sang he to his love;
I love you,
your jet black hair
your eyes of beauty,
oriental hue;
Ah
Ah
Never more, dear, shall we part;
You are my own true love,
My oriental girl, my Lilly Chee.

When all the world is bright and gay.
and love is calling ev'ry day,
we will start our honeymoon
on a day real soon;
And in a cottage by the sea,
There we two shall happy be;
and there we'll spend our happy hours
underneath the moon.

Ah
Ah
Sang he to his love;
I love you,
your jet black hair
your eyes of beauty,
oriental hue;
Ah
Ah
Never more, dear, shall we part;
You are my own true love,
My oriental girl, my Lilly Chee.

Ah
Ah
Sang he to his love;
I love you,
your jet black hair
your eyes of beauty,
oriental hue;
Ah
Ah
Never more, dear, shall we part;
You are my own true love,
My oriental girl, my Lilly Chee.
