No. 4 - Opening Chorus - Scene II
Lyrics by Percy Greenbank
| Girls: | Oriental belles languidly reposing, Dreaming, yawning, dozing, Wile the hours away, the hours away. Oriental belles it must be confessed, Ah! Like a short siesta several times a day, Like a short siesta several times a day. Life with future hazy pure contentment spells, For a lot of lazy Oriental belles, Oriental belles. It must be confessed, Ah! Like a short siesta several times a day, Like a short siesta several times a day, Like a short siesta several times a day. But when Laolah dances, Our glances she entrances, Lovely little Laolah, With movement light and airy And footsteps of a fairy, Lovely little Laolah, Turning, pirouetting softly to and fro, Gliding, hither, thither, Swaying high and low, Like a leaf that trembles When the zephyrs blow, Oh lovely little Laolah, Lovely little Laolah, Laolah, Laolah-olah. Oriental belles, it must be confessed, Ah! Like a short siesta several times a day, Like a short siesta several times a day, Like a short siesta several times a day. |
