No. 2 - Song - Soo Soo and Chorus
| Soo Soo: | In the days of the ancient long ago In a quaint little Chinese town, All the maidens wept and never slept For the men were shy and pass'd them by with a cold and a careless frown. At last once day the fair Princess (Who shar'd her fellow maids' distress) Conceived a most astute device; She sought the god of love's advice. He heard her through as sages do Then gave a talisman. 'Twas what she sought, tho' it was nought But a little paper fan. And she pitter patter'd out Where the fellows stood about, And she gave them a playful leer, With an "Oh-i-o" and a "Peep-a-bo," "I see you standing there." And they woke up from their nap, And they fell into the trap, And she caught the very man Who thought her cheap Till she play'd "Bo-peep" Behind a paper fan, fan, fan, Behind a paper fan. |
| Chorus: | And she pitter patter'd out Where the fellows stood about, And she gave them a playful leer, With an "Oh-i-o" and a "Peep-a-bo," "I see you standing there." And they woke up from their nap, And they fell into the trap, And she caught the very man Who thought her cheap Till she play'd "Bo-peep" Behind a paper fan, fan, fan, Behind a paper fan. |
| Soo Soo: | When the maidens heard of the cute Princess In that quaint little Chinese town, They set to work with an artful smirk, On a paper fan, and they caught a man; And they soon all were settl'd down. And soon the news was spread with glee To far off lands across the sea, And now today each maid on earth Well knows their value and their worth. So all of you who fain would woo, But can't attract a man, You'll still succeed, and all you need Is a little paper fan. And you'll pitter patter out Where the fellows stand out, And you'll give them a playful leer, With an "Oh-i-o" and a "Peep-a-bo," "I see you standing there." And they're woke up from their nap, And they fall into the trap, And you'll catch the very man who thought you cheap Till you play'd "Bo-peep" Behind a paper fan, fan, fan, Behind a paper fan. |
| Chorus: | And she pitter patter'd out Where the fellows stood about, And she gave them a playful leer, With an "Oh-i-o" and a "Peep-a-bo," "I see you standing there." And they woke up from their nap, And they fell into the trap, And she caught the very man Who thought her cheap Till she play'd "Bo-peep" Behind a paper fan, fan, fan, Behind a paper fan. |
