The Maid From Nicobar 1904

King Cupid is all right
for he is Cosmopolite
and no favors does he show,
when his arrows swiftly dart;
They will surely reach the heart,
for no clime or country does he know,
No heart is out of rage
for true love may fashion change;
and even color never will it bar.
And the latest fashion set,
is the Oriental pet,
she's the little Jap from Nicobar.

Oh you may talk about the maiden
who entranced with eyes of blue
and of the girl with brown eyes tender
for she is sweet, petite and true;
You know the latest swell creation,
is the Oriental star,
she's the maiden with the almond eyes,
The little Jap from Nicobar.

Oh you may talk about the maiden
who entranced with eyes of blue
and of the girl with brown eyes tender
for she is sweet, petite and true;
You know the latest swell creation,
is the Oriental star,
she's the maiden with the almond eyes,
The little Jap from Nicobar.

She's coy and she's demure
no harm in her I am sure,
Though she knows a thing or two,
with a roguish glancing eye
and a smile as she trips by,
a fascination has for you,
She's trim and she is neat,
from her head down to her feet,
she twinkles brightly as the evening star;
and her rule has come to stay
in her own peculiar way,
she's the winning Jap from Nicobar.

Oh you may talk about the maiden
who entranced with eyes of blue
and of the girl with brown eyes tender
for she is sweet, petite and true;
You know the latest swell creation,
is the Oriental star,
she's the maiden with the almond eyes,
The little Jap from Nicobar.

Oh you may talk about the maiden
who entranced with eyes of blue
and of the girl with brown eyes tender
for she is sweet, petite and true;
You know the latest swell creation,
is the Oriental star,
she's the maiden with the almond eyes,
The little Jap from Nicobar.
